When our XML-handling modules were first written, the SQL standard lacked any error codes that were particularly intended for XML error conditions. Unsurprisingly, this led to some rather random choices of errcodes in those modules. Now the standard has a whole SQLSTATE class, "Class 10 - XQuery Error", with a reasonably large selection of relevant-looking errcodes. In this patch I've chosen one fairly generic code defined by the standard, 10608 = invalid_argument_for_xquery, and used it where it seemed appropriate. I've also made an effort to replace ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR everywhere it was not clearly reporting a coding problem; in particular, many of the existing uses look like they can fairly be reported as ERRCODE_OUT_OF_MEMORY. It might be interesting to try to map libxml2's error codes into the standard's new collection, but I've not undertaken that here. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/417250.1726341268@sss.pgh.pa.us
The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
