error code invalid_input_syntax

I wrote a function which generates SQL statements
for INSERTs and UPDATEs, in which I cast the values
to the correct datatype.

Now I want to catch

ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: "i"

but although I tried quite a few I can't find the right
error code for this exception.

Is it possible that this error can not be caught?

Thanks
Leo

You can easily check the error code via SQLException.getSQLState(). A
quick test in psql will also demonstrate its value.

jurka=# \set VERBOSITY verbose
jurka=# select 'a'::int;
ERROR: 22P02: invalid input syntax for integer: "a"
