I need a way to throw a message in a function, when an exception occurs, but I don't want to write again and again the same message in every place I need to throw it. So, is there a way to handle this situation in a more general
manner?

The message is just a string. Assign the message to a variable and use the variable in place of the message. For example, in PL/pgSQL:

k_error_message := 'Boom! %';
RAISE EXCEPTION k_error_message, v_foo.id;

Hope that helps.
