no_data

See ch 35.7.5. "Trapping Errors" for an example

From the page:
"The PL/pgSQL condition name for each error code is the same as the
phrase shown in the table, with underscores substituted for spaces. For
example, code 22012, DIVISION BY ZERO, has condition name
DIVISION_BY_ZERO. Condition names can be written in either upper or
lower case. (Note that PL/pgSQL does not recognize warning, as opposed
to error, condition names; those are classes 00, 01, and 02.)"

I don't know if any have changed in 8.1, but there is a list of the
codes in that version of the docs.
