What part of the original construction is not supported?
Are any "exception when" statements supported?
all the BEGIN .. EXCEPTION block:
[ <<label>> ]
[ DECLARE
declarations ]
BEGIN

EXCEPTION
WHEN condition [ OR condition ... ] THEN
handler_statements
[ WHEN condition [ OR condition ... ] THEN
handler_statements
... ]
END;
