I am using postgresql 8.0.1. The keyword "SQLSTATE" & "SQLERRM" did not
work for me. But, I think I do need the two outputs "sql error code",
and "sql error code statement".

Errors I got are:
syntax error at or near "SQLSTATE" at character 2613
LINE 58: RAISE NOTICE 'Hmmmm.... [%,%]', SQLSTATE, SQL...

Should I install any patches or do anything elese to have SQLSTATE and
SQLERRM work for me?

Ying
