Re: JDBC driver error codes documentation, where?

[Satheesh Bandaram]

You can get the error messages using property retrieveMessagesFromServerOnGetMessage, which defaults to FALSE. <satheesh> java -Dij.retrieveMessagesFromServerOnGetMessage=true org..apache.derby.tools.ij ij> connect 'jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/tdb' user 'junk' password 'junk'; ij>  INSERT INTO Item (name) VALUES ("Panasonic DVD Player"); ERROR 42X04: Column 'Panasonic DVD Player' is not in any table in the FROM list or it appears within a join specification and is outside the scope of the join specification or it appears in a HAVING clause and is not in the GROUP BY list. If this is a CREATE or ALTER TABLE statement then 'Panasonic DVD Player' is not a column in the target table. ij> IBM actually announced contributing source code for JDBC driver by around March 2005. I think we should make this property default to TRUE in Apache driver, if and when it is accepted by the community.

The following is the error I get in ij if I accidentally use double quotes instead of single quotes. Why oh why doesn't IBM's JDBC driver print intelligible error messages? I can live with it as long as there is documentation somewhere that maps the error codes into descriptive text, but, where is it? Any news on IBM turning over the source code for the JDBC driver? ij> INSERT INTO Item (name) VALUES ("Panasonic DVD Player"); ERROR 42X04: DB2 SQL error: SQLCODE: -1, SQLSTATE: 42X04, SQLERRMC: Panasonic DV D Player¶42X04 ij> INSERT INTO Item (name) VALUES ('Panasonic DVD Player'); 1 row inserted/updated/deleted Jon
