hi,

i would like to know how can i control the returned value from a SQL
statement ?
for example, if i do an INSERT INTO... :
1. how can i know if the INSERT worked ?
i mean i already trapped the unicity violation, but what if there is another
error ? where can i get a complete list of exceptions ?

2. if the INSERT INTO is successful, how can i know it ? what is the
returned value ?

If it fails you'll get an error. The transaction will be aborted. How you access this error code will depend on what library/client you are using.

3. the same question as point 2 but for all SQL statements from PostgreSQL.

Same.

I read few books and every time this part is not treated correctly but only
partially.

There's a full list of error codes here if you want to know what went wrong:

Am I mis-understanding you?
