How to I return an error from inside a user defined function? For
example the following:
CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION drop_node (integer) RETURNS text
AS '
DECLARE
mleft INTEGER;
mright INTEGER;
BEGIN
-- Check if the desired node exists
SELECT lft, rgt FROM structure WHERE id = $1 INTO mleft, mright;
IF mleft IS NULL THEN
RETURN ''No entry found with an id of ''||$2;
END IF;
-- Drop the node and its subtree
DELETE FROM structure WHERE lft >= mleft AND rgt <= mright;
-- Close the gap
UPDATE structure SET rgt = rgt - (mright - mleft + 1) WHERE rgt > mright;
UPDATE structure SET lft = lft - (mright - mleft + 1) WHERE lft > mleft;
RETURN ''ok'';
END;
'
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
Should be terminated with an error @ RETURN "No Entry found"; instead
of returning the error text.
best regards and thanks,
Alex

Use RAISE. See "Errors and Messages" in the PL/pgSQL documentation.

Have a try with RAISE NOTE or RAISE EXCEPTION
keep in mind that exceptions should be exceptional. So a good idea of
whether to use them is to ask 'Do I expect such error' or 'is an explicit
error useful for the caller'. I'ts often better to just return an empty
relation
