tdbc::mapSqlState - Map SQLSTATE to error class
package require tdbc 1.0
tdbc::mapSqlState sqlstate
The tdbc::mapSqlState command accepts a string that is expected to be a
five-character 'SQL state' as returned from a SQL database when an error
occurs. It examines the first two characters of the string, and returns an
error class as a human- and machine-readable name (for example,
FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED, DATA_EXCEPTION or
INVALID_CURSOR_STATE).
The TDBC specification requires database drivers to return a
description of an error in the error code when an error occurs. The
description is a string that has at least four elements: "TDBC
errorClass sqlstate driverName details...".
The tdbc::mapSqlState command gives a convenient way for a TDBC
driver to generate the errorClass element given the SQL state
returned from a database.
