HV090 — fdw_invalid_string_length_or_buffer_length

PostgreSQL SQLSTATE HV090 names an FDW string or buffer length condition; the buffer owner and valid bounds come from the actual wrapper or driver.

HV090 — fdw_invalid_string_length_or_buffer_length

At a glance

HV090 identifies an invalid string length or buffer length at an FDW boundary. The locked 18.6 core/contrib call scan has no resolved HV090 report group, so it does not establish a native buffer check or message.

Meaning

The condition can concern a string length, a destination buffer, or a wrapper-defined length field. The definition does not tell whether the invalid value was supplied by a remote response, a driver, or local wrapper code.

Messages and diagnostics

No resolved 18.6 core/contrib message variant was found. Preserve the complete diagnostic, length and buffer context if exposed, encoding or type context, callback phase, and wrapper/driver version.

Diagnosis

Trace the wrapper’s length validation and allocation boundary. Compare the value with the bounds and units used by that implementation, and distinguish bytes from characters only when the source or diagnostic supports it.

Response

Correct the producer or option that supplies the invalid length, or use the wrapper’s supported buffer/encoding path. Avoid truncating a value blindly; confirm the wrapper’s contract and whether a remote request has already been sent.

Versions

HV090 is present in the locked definition snapshots from 9.1.24 through 18.6 and 19 Beta 3, with known_present_by 9.1.0. The available pre-9 definition material does not establish an exact introduction release.

HV024 concerns an invalid attribute value; HV00A concerns invalid string format; HV091 concerns a descriptor field identifier.
