Hello all,

Let's say I'm running the following SQL script via psql -f

BEGIN
\set ON_ERROR_STOP
SELECT myFunction();
CREATE TABLE x(id int);
END;

Is there anything I can do in myFunction which will:

a) Stop execution of the script so that x will not be created
b) Not throw an error (return value of 0, no ERROR in output)

I am currently using an EXCEPTION, which satisfies a, but not b.

Cheers,

James Sewell,
PostgreSQL Team Lead / Solutions Architect
