At a glance

SQLSTATE 42000 is syntax_error_or_access_rule_violation in Class 42. 42000 is the broad syntax-error-or-access-rule umbrella. This batch keeps it as a definition boundary because fixed PostgreSQL paths report concrete child codes such as 42501 and 42601.

Meaning

42000 is the broad syntax-error-or-access-rule umbrella. This batch keeps it as a definition boundary because fixed PostgreSQL paths report concrete child codes such as 42501 and 42601.

Diagnosis

First classify the server SQLSTATE and command phase. A client parser error or a locally raised exception does not prove the umbrella code, and a concrete child should not be widened to 42000.

Response

Repair the concrete syntax or access rule named by the diagnostic and retry only that command. Preserve the child code in logs and metrics.

Messages

This page has no selected natural emitter or fixed child message for the umbrella code. Concrete backend paths in this batch report child SQLSTATEs such as 42501 or 42601; a client exception without a server SQLSTATE is not sufficient to claim 42000.

Representative case

This page has no selected natural SQL run. The fixed source boundary is recorded without a synthetic trigger.

Versions

No natural SQL run is selected here. The fixed REL_18_6/REL_10_23 source boundary does not establish behavior for every intermediate release.

Source evidence

Evidence belongs to the frozen source and runtime versions listed here. It is not a runtime verification of the selected manual version.

42000 is the syntax_error_or_access_rule_violation condition in Class 42.

Method: Read fixed errcodes.txt and the locked catalogue metadata.

Limits: Directory identity does not identify every backend path.

src.errcodes.18.6

The fixed scans do not provide a generic natural SQL trigger selected for 42000; the page records its concrete source/definition boundary.

Method: Read fixed call scans and source notes.

Limits: This is not observed natural SQLSTATE coverage.

src.errcodes.18.6 src.calls.REL_18_6 src.calls.REL_10_23

The locked catalogue records 42000; runtime scope is limited to the selected targets.

Method: Read generated facts and selected summaries.

Limits: Definition presence is not an exact behavioral introduction.

Reproduction & repair cases

syntax_access_rule_boundary · PG 10, 18

Preconditions

A fixed source scan is available.

Trigger: No artificial generic 42000 trigger is executed; concrete child paths are covered separately.

Expected assertions

Repair: Use the concrete child SQLSTATE and repair the syntax or access rule it identifies.

Cleanup: No database case resources are created.

Recorded runtime evidence

No runtime observation is attached to this entry.
