Documentation needed for connection URL attribute retrieveMessageText
---------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-5191
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5191
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 10.7.1.1
            Reporter: Kim Haase
            Priority: Minor


The connection URL attribute retrieveMessageText, mentioned in the Admin Guide 
in the topic "Accessing the Network Server by using the network client driver 
(cadminappsclient.dita), is not documented in the Reference Manual but should 
be.

I can't find any javadoc comments on this attribute in the implementation code 
in java/client/org/apache/derby/jdbc/ClientBaseDataSource.java or 
client/org/apache/derby/client/am/Connection.java. 

The Admin Guide just says the following, noting that the default setting is 
true:

"Retrieve message text from the server. A stored procedure is called to 
retrieve the message text with each SQLException and might start a new unit of 
work. Set this property to false if you do not want the performance impact or 
when starting new units of work."

This last sentence is confusing. Seems like it should be something like "Set 
this property to false if you do not want the performance impact or do not want 
to start a new unit of work." Does that make more sense?

I know the attribute is client-specific.

Must it be combined with any other attributes, or are there some that it must 
NOT be combined with?

What else needs to be said?

I'll pick this up if someone can clear up these few points.
