Hi Martin,

Thanks for your help ...But I still don' get it!

I edited your code to correct what I think are some typos but I still get the
error message. What am I doing wrong!?

create or replace function test_tryex() returns void AS

try:
    plpy.execute('create table tmp_foo (v1 int);')
    plpy.execute('select * from tmp_foo);')
except Exception, ex:
    plpy.notice("FUBAR!-- %s" % str(ex))
    return "FUBAR!"
return "test_tryex function has succeeded"

From the documentation and other posts I understand that you need to call
plpy.
