Yes, you cannot use those constructs in plpgsql (or any other PL for
that matter; it's a limitation of the underlying layer). You need to
use BEGIN/EXCEPTION/END blocks instead.
Also, keep in mind that if you RAISE EXCEPTION, the current transaction
is always rolled back, so the RETURN FALSE in your function would never be
reached.
