Using Phonegap you can set a function to be called back if the whole database transaction or the individual SQL statement errors. I\'d like to know how to get more informatio
http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.2.0/cordova_storage_storage.md.html#SQLError
The SQLError object is thrown when an error occurs when manipulating a database.
This object has two properties:
So in your code error.message
will give you a nice description of what went wrong in which transaction.
I think that's exactly what you want, isn't it?

The only thing you can do with the transaction object is call its .executeSql()
method, as far as I can ascertain. I cannot find any properties of this object.
The error object has a .code
property which contains a number. You can either check the numerical value (see my original question above) or use something like:
if (error.code == error.DATABASE_ERR) alert('nasty database error')
The .message
property is a string and may return something like this:
Other messages are possible! This is just the few I spotted when debugging in Chrome. I notice in Phonegap the messages are briefer: "no such table: MyyTable"
Also note that there is another database error callback on the initial call to .transaction()
. Your function will only be returned an error object (no transaction object).
The error's .code
will be zero and the .message
will be "the statement callback raised an exception or statement error callback did not return false".
So remember to have your statement callbacks (function mentioned inside .executeSql
such as my statement_error in the code example of my original question) return true or false depending on whether you want your transaction error callback (second function mentioned inside .transaction
) to be hit. The 'success' callback you specified (third one inside .transaction
) will be run if you return true (or don't return anything).
