Right, it's not actually SQL, so you can't use it in plain SQL. It is part of the plpgsql procedural language.

So you could easily create a small stored procedure, for example:

create function myraise(msg varchar, id varchar) returns void as $$ begin
raise notice '%: %', msg, id;
end; $$ language plpgsql;

and call that from SQL:

select myraise ('mymsg', '1234');
