Subject: pgsql: Improve plpgsql's error messages for incorrect %TYPE and %ROWTYP
Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2024 21:05:53 +0000
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

Improve plpgsql's error messages for incorrect %TYPE and %ROWTYPE.

If one of these constructs referenced a nonexistent object, we'd fall
through to feeding the whole construct to the core parser, which would
reject it with a "syntax error" message.  That's pretty unhelpful and
misleading.  There's no good reason for plpgsql_parse_wordtype and
friends not to throw a useful error for incorrect input, so make them
do that instead of returning NULL.
