That looks like a much better error message. Thanks!
What I'm wondering now though, is, is there an equivalent property to the JDBC driver itself? Normally, with the other JDBC drivers that I've been using (MySQL, MSSQL, Sybase, PostgreSQL, Oracle), it was sufficient to just do an Exception.printStackTrace() to get a meaningful text message of what went wrong for a SQLException. I'm wondering if I'm still going to have to do more than that when using the Derby driver? Personally, I think it should print out descriptive text by default.

Subject: Re: JDBC driver error codes documentation, where?
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.

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.

Does anyone know where the error codes are listed for the JDBC driver?
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?
