custom exceptions

creating custom exception ‘P2222’:

create or replace function s164() returns void as
$$
begin
raise exception using message = 'S 164', detail = 'D 164', hint = 'H 164', errcode = 'P2222';
end;
$$ language plpgsql
;

creating custom exception not assigning errm:

create or replace function s165() returns void as
$$
begin
raise exception '%','nothing specified';
end;
$$ language plpgsql
;

calling:

t=# do
$$
declare
 _t text;
begin
  perform s165();
  exception when SQLSTATE 'P0001' then raise info '%','state P0001 caught: '||SQLERRM;
  perform s164();

end;
$$
;
INFO:  state P0001 caught: nothing specified
ERROR:  S 164
DETAIL:  D 164
HINT:  H 164
CONTEXT:  SQL statement "SELECT s164()"
PL/pgSQL function inline_code_block line 7 at PERFORM

here custom P0001 processed, and P2222, not, aborting the execution.

Also it makes huge sense to keep a table of exceptions, like here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/2700312/5315974

Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea? Let me know.
