Hello Alex,
The following workaround could be used:
do $$
begin raise exception using errcode = exception_aaa();
exception when others then if sqlstate = exception_aaa() then raise notice 'got exception %',sqlstate;
else raise; --reraise end if;
end;
$$
Not sure if its performance is the same as in simple exception catch,
maybe it would degrade.
