Hi,

I am writing a porting a procedure running in oracle to a PL/pgSQL
function.

I need to use commit and rollback in my function.

I have read that usage of commit and rollback is not possible in
PL/pgSQL, however savepoints can be used.

even when i use savepoints and rollback to a savepoint in the exception
block I am getting the following error

ERROR:  cannot begin/end transactions in PL/pgSQL
HINT:  Use a BEGIN block with an EXCEPTION clause instead.

In oracle:

*CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE abc (STATUS IN NUMBER) AS*

*    CODE    NUMBER;*
*    MSG     NVARCHAR2(200);*

*BEGIN*
*        DELETE FROM LOG;*
*        DELETE FROM TRACKER;*
*        BEGIN*
*      IF (STATUS < 1)*
*      THEN*
*              <some query>*

*              INSERT INTO TRACKER SELECT 1,SYSDATE FROM DUAL;*
*              COMMIT;*

The above is your problem, there cannot be a COMMIT in the function.

See here for more detail;

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/interactive/plpgsql-control-structures.html#PLPGSQL-ERROR-TRAPPING

*      END IF;*
*      EXCEPTION*
*      WHEN OTHERS THEN*
*        CODE:=SQLCODE;*
*        MSG:= SQLERRM;*
*      ROLLBACK;*
*              INSERT INTO LOG('CODE AND MESSAGES ARE ' || CODE || ' '
|| MSG);*
*        COMMIT;*
*      RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20001, 'EXCEPTION WHEN EXT SYSTEM ID
KEY');*
*    END;*
*        BEGIN*
*      IF (STATUS < 5)*
*      THEN*
*              <some query>*
**
*              INSERT INTO TRACKER SELECT 5,SYSDATE FROM DUAL;*
*              COMMIT;*
*      END IF;*
*      EXCEPTION*
*      WHEN OTHERS THEN*
*      CODE:=SQLCODE;*
*        MSG:= SQLERRM;*
*        ROLLBACK;*
*              INSERT INTO LOG('CODE AND MESSAGES ARE ' || CODE || ' '
|| MSG);*
*        COMMIT;*
*      RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20001, 'EXCEPTION WHEN EXT SYSTEM ID
KEY');*
*    END;*
*
............... and so on (I have blocks toll STATUS < 200 and all
follow the same concept)*
*END;*
*/*


How can i acheive the same output/flow in PL/pgSQL?

Can you please share a converted code snippet for my reference.
