plpgsql: Checking status on a 'INSERT INTO ...'
I'm porting some stored procedures from a MSSQL server, and thought
I'd use PL/pgSQL.
The original code is checking the insert with the line:
if (@@Error != 0)
How do I do the same thing in PL/pgSQL?

You might want to use something like:
SELECT INTO variable_name *
FROM table
WHERE field = some_value;
IF FOUND THEN
somevar := variable_name.fieldname ;
ELSE
RAISE EXCEPTION ''ERROR blah blah'';
END IF;
And you also want to look into the @@rowcount:
GET DIAGNOSTICS v_rowcount = ROW_COUNT ;
