Thank you. I tried as you said. But i get a ERROR: syntax error at or near "INSERT" at character 9

BEGIN
INSERT INTO my_shevi values ('a', 4, 2, 2);
EXCEPTION
WHEN unique_violation THEN
INSERT INTO my_shevi values ('a', 5, 2, 2);
END;

I don't see anything wrong with the code..

During an "INSERT INTO" I get an "Error - duplicate key violates

Is there any way, that i can test the error. Something like this??

IF error = "duplicate key violates unique constraint" then
  do something
else
  insert into
end if

insert into ...;
exception when unique_violation then
 do something;
