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
unique constraint...."
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;
