What are all the possible values for SQLException.getSQLState?

Question

SQLException.getSQLState retrieves the SQLState for the SQLException object. What are all the possible values that can be returned by this

Answer 1

This is to some degree JDBC driver-dependent. There do seem to be standard values, plus some proprietary values.

As a guide to what's possible, Spring's JDBC layer includes SQL error code and state translation. It provides a SQLState translator which gives rather vague exception translation, as well as a SQLErrorCode translator which is much more fine-grained, using known proprietary error codes.

If you can't use Spring, then download the source code, and extract the sql-error-codes.xml file, which contains the mapping from codes to exception types.
