An unhandled postgres error

[dawkot]

Example

Consider db to be a valid connection and table to be a valid table

echo "a"
discard db.get_value sql "SELECT 1 FROM table WHERE false"
echo "b"

Current Output

a
row number 0 is out of range 0..-1
b

Expected Output

a

Possible Solution

• Silence the output and raise an exception instead

Additional Information

The above error happens if a program calls PQgetvalue(), PQgetlength(), or PQgetisnull() with a row number of -1 and if there were no rows in the result. https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/014c01c57be2$60b97780$3202a8c0@pi

In what universe is dumping stuff to the terminal a viable error reporting strategy? I thought Postge is a piece of quality... :-(
