Postgres 9.0.4 and postgres9.1beta1 give different line of error numbers on
functions that raise runtime errors (it seems).
How to reproduce, given the next SQL file:
$ cat /tmp/sql
begin;
CREATE FUNCTION pg_temp.commchecksql() returns boolean strict language
plpgsql as
$$
begin
-- SQL comment
perform 'aoeuaoeuaeou'::regclass;
return true;
end;
$$;
select pg_temp.commchecksql();
rollback;
begin;
CREATE FUNCTION pg_temp.commcheckC() returns boolean strict language plpgsql as
$$
begin
/* C-like comment */
perform 'aoeuaoeuaeou'::regclass;
return true;
end;
$$;
select pg_temp.commcheckC();
rollback;
------------------
If I run it on postgres9.0.4:
$ psql -U postgres template1 -f/tmp/sql
SET
BEGIN
CREATE FUNCTION
psql:/tmp/sql:12: ERROR: relation "aoeuaoeuaeou" does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT 'aoeuaoeuaeou'::regclass ^
QUERY: SELECT 'aoeuaoeuaeou'::regclass
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "commchecksql" line 4 at PERFORM
ROLLBACK
BEGIN
CREATE FUNCTION
psql:/tmp/sql:26: ERROR: relation "aoeuaoeuaeou" does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT 'aoeuaoeuaeou'::regclass ^
QUERY: SELECT 'aoeuaoeuaeou'::regclass
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "commcheckc" line 4 at PERFORM
ROLLBACK
--------------------
On postgres9.1beta1:
$ psql -U postgres template1 -f/tmp/sql
SET
BEGIN
CREATE FUNCTION
psql:/tmp/sql:12: ERROR: relation "aoeuaoeuaeou" does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT 'aoeuaoeuaeou'::regclass ^
QUERY: SELECT 'aoeuaoeuaeou'::regclass
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "commchecksql" line 5 at PERFORM

LINE 1: SELECT 'aoeuaoeuaeou'::regclass ^

CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "commcheckc" line 5 at PERFORM
ROLLBACK

I care about this because I have some custom regression tests that check the
failing of functions coded like this... and they suddenly failed with that
difference when I checked them against postgres9.0.4.
Is this an intended behaviour?
Thank you.
