Um, if changing the protocol is a bother, you could also add parseable  
infos to the error messages...

instead of  :
"ERROR: duplicate key violates unique constraint "testinteg_one_key""

it would say
"ERROR: duplicate key violates unique constraint "testinteg_one_key"
[code:"XXXX" error:"integrity" type:"unique" column:"something"  
constraint:"testinteg_one_key"]"
Which could be hackfully added by a "parseable" locale (but with a  more  
restrained form...)SET lc_messages TO parseable
