A pl/pgsql function *always* executes within a transaction.

Indeed so. What I'm looking for is a way of detecting if a transaction block has been opened (i.e., we're within a BEGIN).

There is no difference between a transaction explicitly started with BEGIN...COMMIT and one wrapping a single statement.

What were you planning to do differently if a BEGIN was issued?
