Protoco...L::Error(3)

💅 Protocol::Database::PostgreSQL::Error(3) — the PostgreSQL error wrapper, bestie edition

okay so this is the manual page for Protocol::Database::PostgreSQL::Error, a lil Perl module that lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and yes the header got truncated to Protoco...L::Error(3) because the terminal is dramatic like that. Anyway. Let's get into it ✨

---

🦋 NAME

Protocol::Database::PostgreSQL::Error — it literally represents a PostgreSQL error. That's the whole job. It's giving "I contain multitudes (of error data)" 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION

So this module inherits from Ryu::Exception, and what it does is provide a wrapper for exceptions and notices raised by the server. Exceptions, notices, all of it — she's holding them 🫶

---

🎀 METHODS

Here's the whole girlboss toolkit, one method at a time 👑

🌈 code

The failing code. That's it, that's the method 💀

⭐ file

Which PostgreSQL source file the error was raised from. So you can go "oh it's that file's fault" 📁

🧚 line

The line number in the PostgreSQL source file which raised this error. Detective mode activated 🔍

💜 message

The error message from the server. The actual words. The receipts 💌

🍓 position

The character offset in the input query. Very specific, very helpful, very slay 🎯

🔥 routine

Which PostgreSQL processing routine raised this. Name and shame (affectionately) 👀

🦋 severity

Relative severity of the error, e.g. NOTICE or FATAL. Is it a lil whisper or a whole scream? Now you know 📢

👑 type

This one is the main character fr fr. It looks up the error information in tables extracted from PostgreSQL official documentation. Returns a string corresponding to the error code, or "unknown" if it's not in the tables — or if it's from a newer version than this module supports, which is currently 11.2.

lowkey important: "unknown" isn't a bug, it's just her way of saying "girl I don't have that version's tea yet" 🫖 — anything newer than 11.2 gets the "unknown" treatment.
