VerticaDatabaseErrorInfo

public interface VerticaDatabaseErrorInfo

Exposes additional information about errors that occur on the database server.

When a server-side error occurs, the database may provide the the client with additional context and troubleshooting information about the error. The information available depends on the type of error that occurred.

For example, when a SQL Syntax error occurs, the database may indicate a position within the SQL query text where the syntax was invalid, and a suggestion for altering the query text to make the query succeed.

The information provided by this interface is also queryable in the database via the v_monitor.error_messages system table.

This interface provides accessors to retrieve that information after an error has occurred. If the type of information was not available or relevant for the given error, the method should return null.
