Description:

I am trying to raise standard SQL errors from inside PL/Python code.
However, they do not work as expected. They always have sqlstate = XX000
instead of the appropriate sqlstate value.

create function python_exception_bug()
returns void as $$
raise plpy.spiexceptions.InvalidParameterValue()
$$ language 'plpython3u';

create function python_exception_sql()
returns text as $$
begin
select python_exception_bug();
return 'cannot happen';
exception when invalid_parameter_value then
return 'expected behavior';
when others then
return 'this is a bug';
end
$$ language 'plpgsql';
