Hi, there,

Is there any way to handle exception ( such as cannot insert duplicate key on
a unique index) in
plpgsql function?

I don't want it abort whole transaction instead I want to do something else if
it happened,
but I don't want to use a select stmt first to waste the time.

In Orcale, in plsql we can say,
declare
begin
do something
exception
do something else
end;

How to this exception section in plpgsql????
