Could you please add a bit more information here? Does this case necessary belong to this if?
Personally, I am a bit puzzled by this change.

According to Icinga/icingadb#620 (comment), lib/pq may return errors as non-helpful types. To me, that sounds more like an issue in lib/pq where this change is a workaround at best. This definitely isn't how best-practice error handling in Go should look like, so this should say why this is necessary. Is there a bug report in lib/pq on this error reporting that could be references for example?

No, I didn't found any: https://github.com/lib/pq/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+errorf
Also, it's not the worst workaround IMAO, as /^pq: / catches them all at once.

Not so loud, please! 🙈 https://github.com/Icinga/icingadb/blob/v1.2.0/pkg/icingaredis/utils.go#L96

That's just returning an error, not error handling. Should we have the need to handle that error specifically, that should be changed to its own type rather than checking for that string, that's all.

Please rebase! |
They aren't of type *pq.Error, but they're clearly database errors.
