hello,
can any one help me to convert oracle to postgres script..?
following code ..
BEGIN
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP TABLE CONTAINER';
EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
       IF SQLCODE != -942 THEN
          RAISE;
       END IF;
END;
advance thanks,

For hints and tips see:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/interactive/plpgsql-porting.html

In this case I believe the following is what you want:

BEGIN
    DROP TABLE CONTAINER;
EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
       IF RETURNED_SQLSTATE != -942 THEN
          RAISE;
       END IF;
END;

It would be even better to instead do...

EXCEPTION
        WHEN blah THEN
                NULL; -- Ignore this error

See other comments about the correct error code to use. Also, note that this is a risky pattern; it will ignore that error no matter what object generated it. I much prefer to also sanity-check the actual error message to make sure the error is on the object we expect it to be.
