Bug reference:      6377
Logged by:          Igor
Email address:      moiseev.igor@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.4.10
Operating system:   any
Description:

On the page of "Appendix A. PostgreSQL Error Codes"
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/errcodes-appendix.html)
there is no info about the special condition name "OTHERS" which matches
every error type except QUERY_CANCELED

The info about the OTHERS could only be found in the subsection "38.6.5.
Trapping Errors"
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/plpgsql-control-structures.html)

It seems reasonable at least to notice the OTHERS condition in Appendix A.
Would save a lot of time!
Thanks.

That seems a bit out of place to me, because that chapter is not
really about PL/pgsql, and OTHERS is not an exception name, just a
PL/pgsql construct. Maybe we could work a cross-reference into the
sentence that mentions PL/plgsql, though.

OK, but at least some notes on the technique or special small section in the
manual. I was able to extract this info from the manual using this query to
google just by chance when I already lost any hope

Thanks, I.
