parse_target.c checkInsertTargets

Once in a while I will get an error notification describing the following error:

"error": {
  "name": "error",
  "length": 129,
  "severity": "ERROR",
  "code": "42703",
  "position": "20",
  "file": "parse_target.c",
  "line": "943",
  "routine": "checkInsertTargets"
},

What is this?

I’ve not managed to pin to a particular query. It is happening in a high concurrency environment.

What I am mostly curious about is – whats the reason this error is referring to “parse_target.c”? I am not using pg-native.

I’ve done a bit digging and the query thats causing this error is:

The first thing to say is that this query refers to a non-existing column auditorium_id. Thats not preset in the seat table.

Whats the reason for the cryptic error message, though?

Hey @gajus - sorry you got some flak for how you’re formatting you queries: I try to keep things positive & helpful but sometimes things get a bit off track. 😄 I hope the answer to your original questions as provided by charmander and sehrope were helpful! I’m going to close this now since I don’t think it’s related to node-postgres…but please feel free to open up another issue if you hit other snags.
