Обсуждение: CREATE STATISTICS documentation bug
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/sql-createstatistics.html contains this example command: CREATE STATISTICS s2 (mcv) ON (a, b) FROM t2; But that produces: psql: ERROR: only simple column references are allowed in CREATE STATISTICS I think the parentheses around (a, b) just need to be removed. P.S. I think the fact that we print "psql: " before the ERROR here is useless clutter. We didn't do that in v11 and prior and I think we should kill it with fire. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

Agreed, particularly seeing that the error is not originating with
psql; it's just passing it on.

Well, to clarify: I think it's reasonable to include "psql: " if the
message is originating in psql. So I don't think your idea quite
does what we want.

Maybe the error reporting API needs a bit of a refinement to suppress the prefix for specific error callsites, then? -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services

This was an oversight and has been fixed. (It was masked if you had a .psqlrc, which is why I never saw it.) -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
