Is there a XOR logical operator in Postgresql, or a
function for XOR ??

I only found in the docs a Binary XOR (#).

I need to do the following checkup:
(field1 is NULL XOR field2 is NULL XOR filed3 is NULL)

i can't right it like this:
(
(field1 is NUll or field2 is NUll)
and (field1 is NUll or field3 is NUll)
and (field2 is NUll or field3 is NUll)
)

But if i have alot of fields :
field1,field2,...,field5
... this will take a hell of a time 
I can write a function F1 that does the following:
if a field is NULL it will return 1
else it will return 0

then i can do: 
(F1(field1) # F1(field2) # F1(field3) ...)


but i just wanted to see if XOR already exists ...
