I have a table:

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX rechner_name
ON rechner
USING btree
(name);
and want to have the existing or new id of 'newobjekt'
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getrechnerid( text)

select id_r from rechner where name=upper($1) into result;

Why don't you just use the default? You could entirely do away with the
'result' variable that way:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getrechnerid( text)
RETURNS int4 AS
' BEGIN
select id_r from rechner where name=upper($1) into result;
IF not FOUND THEN
insert into rechner (name) values (upper($1));
END IF;
