(version == 9.1)

In my PL/pgSQL stored functions,
I want to be able to distinguish which FK-constraint caused the 
[foreign_key_violation] exception.
  . . .
  BEGIN
    delete from MY_COOL_TABLE where id = 123 ;
  EXCEPTION
    WHEN foreign_key_violation THEN
      CASE
        WHEN (SQLERRM tells me it blew up because of FK X)  THEN . . . ;
        WHEN (SQLERRM tells me it blew up because of FK Y)  THEN . . . ;
        WHEN (SQLERRM tells me it blew up because of FK Z)  THEN . . . ;
      END;
    WHEN others THEN
      raise;
  END;
  . . .

Is a "robust enough" parsing of SQLERRM actually the best/only way to determine 
this ?

-dvs-
