Description

Describe the bug

When executing PL/pgSQL, log messages sent by the RAISE NOTICE command are not handled correctly in the POSTGRESQL QUERY RESULTS.
The message is being trimmed, and it appears only when the execution finishes.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Execute the following PL/pgSQL command:

DO $$ DECLARE i INT; BEGIN FOR i IN 1..10 LOOP RAISE NOTICE '%-%-%', REPEAT(' ', i), CONCAT('Message ', i), REPEAT(' ', i); PERFORM pg_sleep(1); END LOOP; END $$;

Expected behavior

The message is not trimmed, and it appears immediately after execution.

VS Code version

1.107.1

Extension Version

1.14.0

Research direction

Start by reproducing the PL/pgSQL example and inspect how POSTGRESQL QUERY RESULTS handles RAISE NOTICE output during execution. No source file or test is named; done means preserving the message's whitespace and displaying each notice immediately rather than only after execution finishes.
