I am in the process of migrating our database from MS Server 2000 to
Postgres. I have a bunch of stored procs which i have to modify the syntax
so they work in postgresql. My ? is is there an equivalent for the @@Error
function in T-SQL for postgres: The stored proc i am converting is:

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[AuditAccounts]

        @ReturnValue            int output
AS

SET NOCOUNT ON

select * from AdminAccts full join AmAccts
        on adm_acc_AccountNo = am_acc_AccountNo
where adm_acc_AccountNo is null or am_acc_AccountNo is null

Set @ReturnValue = @@Error

I have wriiten the postgres function as follows :

CREATE TYPE AuditAccount AS (adm_acc_AccountNo character varying,
am_acc_AccountNo character varying);
CREATE FUNCTION dint_AuditAccounts( )
   RETURNS SETOF AuditAccount AS
   $BODY$
      BEGIN
         RETURN QUERY
select * from "AdminAccounts" full join "AmAccounts" on "adm_acc_AccountNo" = "am_acc_AccountNo"
    where "adm_acc_AccountNo" is null or "am_acc_AccountNo" is null;
END;
   $BODY$
   LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE
   COST 100
   ROWS 10;

How do i implement exception handling in this case, if i want the function
to report back successful execution or failure just like the @@Error
function does in T-SQL?

I have no clue about T-SQL, but I think you can easily extend your
function(s) to use PL/pgSQL exception handling described here:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/plpgsql-control-structures.html#PLPGSQL-ERROR-TRAPPING

    BEGIN
        statements
    EXCEPTION
        WHEN condition [ OR condition ... ] THEN
            handler_statements
        [ WHEN condition [ OR condition ... ] THEN
              handler_statements
          ... ]
    END;


Ciao,
Thomas
