GaussDB(DWS) Stored Procedure Debugging

Syntax

RAISE has the following five syntax formats:

Figure 1 raise_format::=

Figure 2 raise_condition::=

Figure 3 raise_sqlstate::=

Figure 4 raise_option::=

Figure 5 raise::=

Parameter description:

• The level option is used to specify the error level, that is, DEBUG, LOG, INFO, NOTICE, WARNING, or EXCEPTION (default). EXCEPTION throws an error that normally terminates the current transaction and the others only generate information at their levels. The log_min_messages and client_min_messages parameters control whether the error messages of specific levels are reported to the client and are written to the server log.
• format: specifies the error message text to be reported, a format character string. The format character string can be appended with an expression for insertion to the message text. In a format character string, % is replaced by the parameter value attached to format and %% is used to print %. For example:

  --v_job_id replaces % in the character string.
  RAISE NOTICE 'Calling cs_create_job(%)',v_job_id;

• option = expression: inserts additional information to an error report. The keyword option can be MESSAGE, DETAIL, HINT, or ERRCODE, and each expression can be any character string.
  • MESSAGE: specifies the error message text. This option cannot be used in a RAISE statement that contains a format character string in front of USING.
  • DETAIL: specifies detailed information of an error.
  • HINT: prints hint information.
  • ERRCODE: designates an error code (SQLSTATE) to a report. A condition name or a five-character SQLSTATE error code can be used.
• condition_name: specifies the condition name corresponding to the error code.
• sqlstate: specifies the error code.

If neither a condition name nor an SQLSTATE is designated in a RAISE EXCEPTION command, the RAISE EXCEPTION (P0001) is used by default. If no message text is designated, the condition name or SQLSTATE is used as the message text by default.

If the SQLSTATE designates an error code, the error code is not limited to a defined error code. It can be any error code containing five digits or ASCII uppercase rather than 00000. Avoid using error codes that end in three zeros because they are category codes and can be captured by the entire category.

The syntax described in Figure 5 does not append any parameter. This form is used only for the EXCEPTION statement in a BEGIN block so that the error can be re-processed.

CALL proc_raise2(300011);

ERROR:  Duplicate user ID: 300011

If the main parameter is a condition name or SQLSTATE, the following applies:

RAISE division_by_zero;
RAISE SQLSTATE '22012';

For example:

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE division(div in integer, dividend in integer) 
AS 
DECLARE 
res int; 
    BEGIN 
    IF dividend=0 THEN 
        RAISE division_by_zero; 
        RETURN; 
    ELSE 
        res := div/dividend; 
        RAISE INFO 'division result: %', res;
        RETURN; 
    END IF; 
    END; 
/

call division(3,0);
ERROR:  division_by_zero
