25005 — no_active_sql_transaction_for_branch_transaction

PostgreSQL SQLSTATE 25005: the branch-transaction no-active-transaction condition and its source-only boundary.

25005 — no_active_sql_transaction_for_branch_transaction

At a glance

25005 is the branch-transaction form of a no-active-SQL-transaction condition. It is distinct from 25P01, and the fixed PostgreSQL 18.6 core scan does not resolve a natural server call site.

Meaning

The code belongs to the branch-transaction family. A normal SAVEPOINT outside BEGIN is the 25P01 path demonstrated elsewhere; it must not be relabeled as 25005.

Diagnosis

Capture the branch API operation and whether it had an active branch transaction. With no resolved core message in the fixed scan, the exact server text must come from the reporting implementation that actually emitted the code.

Response

End or start the branch transaction according to that API’s contract. Do not send a generic rollback recipe based on the name alone, and do not fabricate a PL/pgSQL reproduction.

Source message and runtime boundary

The fixed errcodes.txt row defines the condition and macro; the resolved call scan in raw/calls/REL_18_6.jsonl contains no direct report group, so this batch publishes no message template and constructs no natural SQL trigger.

Applicability boundary and case

The selected runner cases on PostgreSQL 18.6 and 10.21 are not_applicable; they record the source boundary and contain no copyable SQL trigger. Structured evidence · case export

Versions and limits

The locked catalogue contains the generated historical membership facts. The selected latest and PG10 cases are both explicit source-only boundaries and are not natural runtime passes.

25P01 no active SQL transaction, 25003 branch transaction access mode, 25P02 failed SQL transaction.
