Re: jdbc 7.2b1 question...

Laurette,

This is actually a limitation of the postgresql server itself.  The
server currently has no concept of error codes, it only has strings.
Therefore there is little the jdbc driver can do until this
functionality is incorporated into the backend server.  This is
currently on the todo list for the server.

thanks,
