Class PostgresNotice

Namespace
Npgsql
Assembly
Npgsql.dll

PostgreSQL notices are non-critical messages generated by PostgreSQL, either as a result of a user query (e.g. as a warning or informational notice), or due to outside activity (e.g. if the database administrator initiates a "fast" database shutdown).

Properties

ColumnName

If the error was associated with a specific table column, the name of the column. (Refer to the schema and table name fields to identify the table.)

public string? ColumnName { get; set; }

Property Value

string

Remarks

PostgreSQL 9.3 and up.

ConstraintName

If the error was associated with a specific constraint, the name of the constraint. Refer to fields listed above for the associated table or domain. (For this purpose, indexes are treated as constraints, even if they weren't created with constraint syntax.)

public string? ConstraintName { get; set; }

Property Value

string

Remarks

PostgreSQL 9.3 and up.

DataTypeName

If the error was associated with a specific data type, the name of the data type. (Refer to the schema name field for the name of the data type's schema.)

public string? DataTypeName { get; set; }

Property Value

string

Remarks

PostgreSQL 9.3 and up.

Detail

An optional secondary error message carrying more detail about the problem. May run to multiple lines.

public string? Detail { get; set; }

Property Value

string

File

The file name of the source-code location where the error was reported.

public string? File { get; set; }

Property Value

string

Remarks

PostgreSQL 9.3 and up.

Hint

An optional suggestion what to do about the problem. This is intended to differ from Detail in that it offers advice (potentially inappropriate) rather than hard facts. May run to multiple lines.

public string? Hint { get; set; }

Property Value

string

InternalPosition

This is defined the same as the Position field, but it is used when the cursor position refers to an internally generated command rather than the one submitted by the client. The InternalQuery field will always appear when this field appears. 0 means not provided.

public int InternalPosition { get; set; }

Property Value

int

InternalQuery

The text of a failed internally-generated command. This could be, for example, a SQL query issued by a PL/pgSQL function.

public string? InternalQuery { get; set; }

Property Value

string

InvariantSeverity

Severity of the error or notice, not localized. Always present since PostgreSQL 9.6.

public string InvariantSeverity { get; }

Property Value

string

Line

The line number of the source-code location where the error was reported.

public string? Line { get; set; }

Property Value

string

MessageText

The primary human-readable error message. This should be accurate but terse.

public string MessageText { get; set; }

Property Value

string

Remarks

Always present.

Position

The field value is a decimal ASCII integer, indicating an error cursor position as an index into the original query string. The first character has index 1, and positions are measured in characters not bytes. 0 means not provided.

public int Position { get; set; }

Property Value

int

Routine

The name of the source-code routine reporting the error.

public string? Routine { get; set; }

Property Value

string

SchemaName

If the error was associated with a specific database object, the name of the schema containing that object, if any.

public string? SchemaName { get; set; }

Property Value

string

Remarks

PostgreSQL 9.3 and up.

Severity

Severity of the error or notice. Always present.

public string Severity { get; set; }

Property Value

string

SqlState

The SQLSTATE code for the error.

public string SqlState { get; set; }

Property Value

string

Remarks

TableName

Table name: if the error was associated with a specific table, the name of the table. (Refer to the schema name field for the name of the table's schema.)

public string? TableName { get; set; }

Property Value

string

Remarks

PostgreSQL 9.3 and up.

Where

An indication of the context in which the error occurred. Presently this includes a call stack traceback of active PL functions. The trace is one entry per line, most recent first.

public string? Where { get; set; }

Property Value

string
