From fcc7f8289c078ac0e7174ce16a030c11a163a1db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Karl O. Pinc" Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2023 16:03:59 -0500 Subject: [PATCH v4 04/12] Describe how to raise an exception in the exception section Most of this section is about managing program control flow, but the section does not mention how to raise an exception anywhere. This new sentence says how, and provides a link into the section on raising exceptions for those who want to know more. Line break after end of sentence to simplify reading of future patches. --- doc/src/sgml/plpgsql.sgml | 7 +++++-- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/src/sgml/plpgsql.sgml b/doc/src/sgml/plpgsql.sgml index 127dd1b337..54402752b2 100644 --- a/doc/src/sgml/plpgsql.sgml +++ b/doc/src/sgml/plpgsql.sgml @@ -2765,8 +2765,11 @@ NOTICE: row = {10,11,12} By default, any error occurring in a PL/pgSQL - function aborts execution of the function and the - surrounding transaction.
