Re: error codes

A quick JDBC test program shows:

ERROR: currval of sequence "customer_id_seq" is not yet defined in this
session (SQLState: 55000)

which, looking up the error code in the docs:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/errcodes-appendix.html

turns out to be:

55000    OBJECT NOT IN PREREQUISITE STATE

... which makes sense, but I wouldn't call blindingly and immediately
obvious.



Here's a trivial little utility for running a statement, catching an
error, and reporting the error along with the Pg error code. Sorry for
the horrible formatting (short lines for email).

--- Put in file `JdbcTest.java' ---

import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.CallableStatement;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;

class JdbcTest  {
   public static void main(String[] args)     throws ClassNotFoundException, InterruptedException, SQLException   {
 Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");       Connection c =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc://YOUR_PARAMS_HERE");      try {           CallableStatement st =
c.prepareCall("SELECTcurrval('customer_id_seq')");           st.execute();       } catch (SQLException ex) {
System.out.println(              "DB error string: " + ex.getMessage()                + " (SQLState: " +
ex.getSQLState()+ ")");       }   }
 
}

---- end ----

You'll need the PostgreSQL JDBC driver.

To compile (assuming you don't use a Java IDE of some sort, but have the
JDK installed) run:
  javac -d /out/dir JdbcTest.java

and to run (all on one line):

java -classpath /path/to/postgresql-8.3-603.jdbc4.jar:/out/dir JdbcTest

where /out/dir is wherever you want the generated .class file to be put.
