level ] SQLSTATE 'sqlstate' [ USING option = expression [, ... ] ]; RAISE [ level ] USING option = expression [, ... ]; RAISE ; The level option specifies the error severity. Allowed levels are DEBUG, LOG, INFO, NOTICE, WARNING, and EXCEPTION, with EXCEPTION being the default. EXCEPTION raises an error (which normally aborts the current transaction); the postgresql exception handling example other levels only generate messages of different priority levels. Whether messages of a particular priority are reported to the client, written to the server log, or both is controlled by the log_min_messages and client_min_messages configuration variables. See Chapter 19 for more information. After level if any, you can write a format (which must be a simple string literal, not an expression). The format string specifies the error message text to be reported. The format string can be followed by optional argument expressions to be inserted into the message. Inside the format string, % is replaced by the string representation of the next optional argument's value. Write %% to emit a literal %. The number of arguments must match the number of % placeholders in the format string, or an error is raised during the compilation of the function. In this example, the value of v_job_id will replace the % in the string: RAISE NOTICE 'Calling cs_create_job(%)', v_job_id; You can attach additional information to the error report by writing USING followed by option = e
