Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-3610:
-------------------------------------------
I think it may be better to have two different error messages, since passing
the words "procedure" and "function" as arguments to the error message doesn't
work that well for other languages than English.
It is possible to have many messages with the same SQLState, by adding a suffix
that is only used by Derby internally. For example
42Y21.S.0 - {0} is not recognized as a procedure
42Y21.S.1 - {0} is not recognized as a function
See here for a description of how Derby interprets the states:
http://db.apache.org/derby/javadoc/engine/org/apache/derby/shared/common/reference/SQLState.html
Perhaps we should reuse the SQLState 42Y03 instead of adding 42Y21, so that the
change doesn't affect existing applications that check the SQLState. If the
state is changed, we'd need a release note to give a heads up to the users.

> When the wrong keyword is used in a grant execute privilege statement, the
> error message
> leads one the believe the identifier is neither a procedure or a function,
> when in deed it is one of the two.
> > create function bc(i int) returns int language java parameter style java
> > external name 'java.lang.Integer.bitCount' no sql;
> > grant execute on procedure bc to foo;
> ERROR 42Y03: 'BC' is not recognized as a function or procedure.
> > grant execute on function bc to foo;
> (works)
> The reason is that the error message is generic. It would be better to have
> an error message for each case.
