The thing is if _data (parameter) is null and table has a (data <> null) check, the insert would fail and abort the function before my "if not found" test.
You could test for _data is null, and if so check attnotnull in pg_attribute. E.g. something like:
declare iattnotnull bool [...] begin if _data is null then select into iattnotnull attnotnull from pg_catalog.pg_attribute where attrelid = 'log'::regclass and attname = 'data'; if iattnotnull then _res.code := -1; [...]
Is there anything I can do to make sure the function always returns _res ?
Something along the lines of Oracle's exception handling, or the @@error trick in mssql ?
There is currently no way to "catch" the exception in PL/pgSQL, but maybe the above would work for you.
