public class SQLException

extends Exception

An exception that provides information on a database access error or other errors.

Each SQLException provides several kinds of information:

• a string describing the error. This is used as the Java Exception message, available via the method getMesage.
• a "SQLstate" string, which follows the XOPEN SQLstate conventions. The values of the SQLState string are described in the XOPEN SQL spec.
• an integer error code that is specific to each vendor. Normally this will be the actual error code returned by the underlying database.
• a chain to a next Exception. This can be used to provide additional error information.
