Use a PL/pgSQL stored procedure. PostgreSQL does not support ad-hoc
blocks or unnamed procedures, but it's OK to create the procedure, use
it, and drop it again.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/plpgsql.html

and particularly:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/plpgsql-control-structures.html#PLPGSQL-ERROR-TRAPPING

However, the EXCEPTION blocks you use to trap errors aren't free in
performance terms, so you should probably look for other approaches first.
