You mean that the default generated error messages contain some more
information I presume, like the table name and the constraint name ?
I think I noticed that already, and since I had time since yesterday
evening, I thought things over and came to the conclusion that this
mechanism at least gives an escape hatch, since it is possible to give a
name to each constraint, and then use this name as an index to get a
proper error message.
