Got:

I looks like "when sqlstate exception_aaa()" doesn't work.

How can I catch exception in this case?

I'm doubtful that it can be done presently.

If it were possible your exception_aaa function would have to be declared IMMUTABLE. It also seems pointless to declare it security definer.

There is nothing in the documentation that suggests that (or, to be fair, prohibits) the "condition" can be anything other than a pre-defined name or a constant string. When plpgsql get a function body it doesn't go looking for random functions to execute.

this syntax is working only for builtin exceptions. PostgreSQL has not declared custom exceptions like SQL/PSM.

You have to use own sqlcode and catch specific code.

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.
