Previously, we had an undisciplined mish-mash of printfPQExpBuffer and appendPQExpBuffer calls to report errors within libpq. This commit establishes a uniform rule that appendPQExpBuffer[Str] should be used. conn->errorMessage is reset only at the start of an application request, and then accumulates messages till we're done. We can remove no less than three different ad-hoc mechanisms that were used to get the effect of concatenation of error messages within a sequence of operations. Although this makes things quite a bit cleaner conceptually, the main reason to do it is to make the world safer for the multiple-target-host feature that was added awhile back. Previously, there were many cases in which an error occurring during an individual host connection attempt would wipe out the record of what had happened during previous attempts. (The reporting is still inadequate, in that it can be hard to tell which host got the failure, but that seems like a matter for a separate commit.) Currently, lo_import and lo_export contain exceptions to the "never use printfPQExpBuffer" rule. If we changed them, we'd risk reporting an incidental lo_close failure before the actual read or write failure, which would be confusing, not least because lo_close happened after the main failure. We could improve this by inventing an internal version of lo_close that doesn't reset the errorMessage; but we'd also need a version of PQfn() that does that, and it didn't quite seem worth the trouble for now.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
