I was reviewing the dev guide and in
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.2/devguide/cdevconcepts844813.html
pg63: Section 'Information provided in SQLExceptions" there is
"Use the /getSQLState/ and /getMessage/ methods to view the /SQLState/
and error messages.
Use /getErrorCode/ to see the error code. The error code defines the
severity of the error and is not unique to each exception.
The severity levels are described
in/org.apache.derby.types.ExceptionSeverity/."
In another thread (derby-1566), Dan pointed out that "The severity by
definition (SQLException.getErrorCode) is a non-standard piece of Derby. "
So, it seems that :
-- Might be good to add this piece of information that severity is
non-standard and also encourage applications to not depend on severity
-- Remove mention of internal class ExceptionSeverity here because it is
not exposed api and I dont see this in the javadoc
http://db.apache.org/derby/javadoc/publishedapi/jdbc4/ .Also, that
package name for ExceptionSeverity is incorrect, this is actually
org.apache.derby.common.error.ExceptionSeverity
Is this reasonable ?
Thanks,
Sunitha.
