Re: get id of insert in plpgsql function - Mailing list pgsql-novice

I think I managed to get it working, but the error reporting is not so good,

Here is the function (I removed some stuff to make it shorter)

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION addB(userid_ integer) RETURNS INTEGER AS $$
DECLARE
    bibid INTEGER;
BEGIN
    BEGIN
    INSERT INTO mytable (userid,y) VALUES (userid_,'f') RETURNING
currval('mytable_pkey') into bibid;
        RETURN bibid;
    EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN /*Catch all*/
        RETURN 0;
    END;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

Now, I had forgot to add the column 'y' to mytable, and I got the error message

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "Resource" at character 1
STATEMENT:  Resource id #23

in the  pg_log/logfile
Is there clever setting to get a better response?
