SQL Error Messages
The table below lists the SQL numeric error codes and their error messages for InterSystems IRIS® data platform. These codes are returned as the SQLCODE variable value.
Note:
While this document lists error codes as negative values, JDBC and ODBC clients always receive positive values. For example, if an ODBC or JDBC application returns error code 30, look up error code -30 in this table.
SQLCODE 0 and 100
There are two SQLCODE values that do not represent an SQL error:
SQL Error Codes 0 and 100
| Error Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Successful Completion |
| 100 | No (more) data |
-
SQLCODE=0 indicates successful completion of an SQL operation. For a SELECT statement, this usually means the successful retrieval of data from a table. However, if the SELECT performs an aggregate operation, (for example: SELECT SUM(myfield)) the aggregate operation is successful and an SQLCODE=0 is issued even when there is no data in myfield; in this case SUM returns NULL and %ROWCOUNT=1.
-
SQLCODE=100 indicates that the SQL operation was successful, but found no data to act upon. This can occur for a number of reasons. For a SELECT these include: the specified table contains no data; the table contains no data that satisfies the query criteria; or row retrieval has reached the final row of the table. For an UPDATE or DELETE these include: the specified table contains no data; or the table contains no row of data that satisfies the WHERE clause criteria. In these cases %ROWCOUNT=0.
In Embedded SQL, when SQLCODE=100 the output host variables specified in the INTO clause are nulled.
SQLCODE -400
The SQLCODE -400 error “Fatal error occurred” is a general error. It is generated when a more specific SQLCODE error code is not available.
Retrieving SQL Message Texts
To determine the meaning of an SQLCODE numeric code, use the following ObjectScript statement:
WRITE "SQLCODE=",$SYSTEM.SQL.Functions.SQLCODE(-nnn)This SQLCODE()Opens in a new tab method can also be called as a stored procedure: %SYSTEM_SQL.Functions_SQLCODE(-nnn).
When possible (usually at SQL compile time), error messages include the name of the field, table, view, or other element that caused the error. Placeholders for these names are shown using the <name> syntax convention.
The %msg variable may contain an additional message error text for certain errors. For further details, refer to System Variables.
The message texts returned are shown below in their English versions. The actual message text returned depends upon your locale setting.
For information on generating ObjectScript general errors from SQLCODE errors, see the %SYSTEM.ErrorOpens in a new tab class.
Table of SQL Error Codes and Messages
