Yes, and I'm also proposing this in the user's point of view, which I believe holds true for people here. I'm worried from my support experience that strict customers would complain and question the HA.

I'm OK with considering this during beta testing. But do you think there will be enough beta testers and some of them will find this kind of subtle problem? I'm afraid this type of problem will be detected and complained after some time in production... So, I think we should address this proactively on the basis of good sense.

Done. I'll examine whether we can use SQLSTATE.
