SQLState Property

Indicates the SQL state for a given Error object.

Return Value

Returns a five-character String value that follows the ANSI SQL standard and indicates the error code.

Remarks

Use the SQLState property to read the five-character error code that the provider returns when an error occurs during the processing of an SQL statement. For example, when using the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC with a Microsoft SQL Server database, SQL state error codes originate from ODBC, based either on errors specific to ODBC or on errors that originate from Microsoft SQL Server, and are then mapped to ODBC errors. These error codes are documented in the ANSI SQL standard, but may be implemented differently by different data sources.
