NAME¶
PQgeterror, PQseterror, PQgetErrorField - libpqtypes error system management
functions
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <libpqtypes.h>
char *PQgeterror(void);
void PQseterror(const char *
format, ...);
char *PQgetErrorField(int
fieldcode);
DESCRIPTION¶
The libpqtypes library maintains a per-thread global error message. The error
message is managed by
PQgeterror() and PQseterror().
PQseterror() takes a regular printf compatible
format string for setting
the libpqtypes error message.
PQgetErrorField() gets an error field from the last executed query. The error
field is only set by PQparamExec and PQparamExecPrepared. When using libpq
functions that return results, like PQexec, continue to use
PQresultErrorField.
To clear the libpqtypes error message, call PQseterror() with a NULL
format string: PQseterror(NULL); This will also clear error fields.
RETURN VALUE¶
PQgeterror() returns the last error message for the calling thread. It
will never return NULL.
PQgetErrorField() returns the error field, referenced by fieldcode, for
the last executed query. NULL is returned if no value exists.
EXAMPLES¶
None.
