SQLSTATE

Programs calling a database which accords to the SQL standard receive an indication about the success or failure of the call. This return code - which is called SQLSTATE - consists of 5 bytes. They are divided into two parts: the first and second bytes contain a class and the following three a subclass. Each class belongs to one of four categories: "S" denotes "Success" (class 00), "W" denotes "Warning" (class 01), "N" denotes "No data" (class 02) and "X" denotes "Exception" (all other classes).

• Real DBMSs are free to define additional values for SQLSTATE to handle those features which are beyond the standard. Such values must use one of the characters [I-Z] or [5-9] as the first byte of class (first byte of SQLSTATE) or subclass (third byte of SQLSTATE).
• In addition to SQLSTATE the SQL command GET DIAGNOSTICS offers more details about the last executed SQL command.
• In very early versions of the SQL standard the return code was called SQLCODE and used a different coding schema.

The following table lists the standard-conforming values - based on 2011. The table's last column shows the part of the standard that defines the row. If it is empty, the definition originates from part 2 Foundation.
