Thanks Igor,
this is a sufficient idea to take into account for upgrading to 9.x release.

No. It's not possible in 8.3.
What you want is basically anonymous plpgsql block, "EXCEPTION" - is plpgsql, not pure sql, could be used only inside plpgsql function in 8.3.
OTOH, starting with 9.0 you can use anonymous plpgsql blocks, and get what you asked for.
