[postgis-users] Tiger geocoder - error instead of null when unlocatable

[Matthew Syphus]

After following the instructions (several times) and apparently successfully installing tiger geocoder and the tiger data for Idaho, I keep getting an error when the geocoder can't find an address.

With a locatable address it works just fine.
SELECT * FROM geocode('3300 state st, boise, id 83703')

When an address is not locatable, I assume it should return null (and move on to the next in the batch).
Instead, it returns an error:

SELECT * FROM geocode('3300 state st, neverland, id 9876543210')

ERROR:  column co.statefp does not exist

                                                             ^

It doesn't seem to matter which address element causes the problem, the error is the same and it kills the query.  Is there some error handling that is getting missed? The examples I've seen look like it just returns null.  Thank you for any help.
