Dear all I ask for your help cause I can't point out the solution to my problem on PG 8.3 I would catch an exception outside any function/procedure but directly within script. BEGIN; -- raise an exception code EXCEPTION WHEN 'exception_type' THEN ROLLBACK; COMMIT; is it possible with PG 8.3? Many thanks in advance.
