I think you should carefully read what the manual tells about PL/pgSQL (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/plpgsql.html) and especially about Trapping Errors (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/plpgsql-control-structures.html#PLPGSQL-ERROR-TRAPPING)

I think you'll want to look at SQLSTATE and SQLERRM inside the exception
handler.
