That's a catch-all error dialog, there will be more information in the tracefile (https://www.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile) and maybe still more in the Postgres server logs. For still more detail try again, running GnuCash with `--log gnc.backend=debug`. The resulting tracefile will include the text of all queries and responses and may expose your financial data so be careful about sharing it.
