There had better be a way, since (I suppose) the ERROR is preventing the
commit from succeeding ...

That is a good question. Can a backend running in a different database
execute the COMMIT (or ROLLBACK)? Offhand I'd bet that will not work,
which suggests we'd better make the view per-database. [ thinks a bit
more... ] We might be able to make it work, but there seems like a lot
of potential for bugs/fragility there. Might be best to take the narrow
definition to start with.
