I have no clue about T-SQL, but I think you can easily extend your
function(s) to use PL/pgSQL exception handling described here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/plpgsql-control-structures.html#PLPGSQL-ERROR-TRAPPING
BEGIN statements EXCEPTION WHEN condition [ OR condition ... ] THEN handler_statements
[ WHEN condition [ OR condition ... ] THEN handler_statements ... ] END;
Ciao,
