Glad to hear it's here just in time.  I am using 9.4, though, so I wish I could figure out why it's returning NULL when I use it.  And the error message string doesn't contain any column name to parse in my output.

As far as I recall, COLUMN_NAME is new in 9.4.  If you're trying with an
earlier version, you can't get that info other than by parsing the error
message string.
