You need to use BEGIN/EXCEPTION/END blocks instead. Also, keep in mind that if you RAISE EXCEPTION, the current transaction is always rolled back, so the RETURN FALSE in your function would never be reached. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
