This section describes how you can handle exceptional conditions
and warnings in an embedded SQL program. There are two
nonexclusive facilities for this.
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">
Callbacks can be configured to handle warning and error
conditions using the <code class="literal">WHENEVER</code> command.
</li><li class="listitem">
Detailed information about the error or warning can be obtained
from the <code class="varname">sqlca</code> variable.
</li></ul></div><p>
</p><div class="sect2" id="ECPG-WHENEVER"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">36.8.1. Setting Callbacks <a href="#ECPG-WHENEVER" class="id_link">#</a></h3></div></div></div><p>
One simple method to catch errors and warnings is to set a
specific action to be executed whenever a particular condition
occurs. In general:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
EXEC SQL WHENEVER <em class="replaceable"><code>condition</code></em> <em class="replaceable"><code>action</code></em>;
</pre><p>
</p><p>
<em class="replaceable"><code>condition</code></em> can be one of the following:
</p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt id="ECPG-WHENEVER-SQLERROR"><span class="term"><code class="literal">SQLERROR</code></span> <a href="#ECPG-WHENEVER-SQLERROR" class="id_link">#</a></dt><dd><p>
The specified action is called whenever an error occurs during
the execution of an SQL statement.
</p></dd><dt id="ECPG-WHENEVER-SQLWARNING"><span class="term"><code class="literal">SQLWARNING</code></span> <a href="#ECPG-WHENEVER-SQLWARNING" class="id_link">#</a></dt><dd><p>
The specified action is called whenever a warning occurs
during the execution of an SQL statement.
</p></dd><dt id="ECPG-WHENEVER-NOT-FOUND"><span class="term"><code class="literal">NOT FOUND</code></span> <a href="#ECPG-WHENEVER-NOT-FOUND" class="id_link">#</a></dt><dd><p>
The specified action is called whenever an SQL statement
retrieves or affects zero rows. (This condition is not an
error, but you might be interested in handling it specially.)
</p></dd></dl></div><p>
</p><p>
<em class="replaceable"><code>action</code></em> can be one of the following:
</p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt id="ECPG-WHENEVER-CONTINUE"><span class="term"><code class="literal">CONTINUE</code></span> <a href="#ECPG-WHENEVER-CONTINUE" class="id_link">#</a></dt><dd><p>
This effectively means that the condition is ignored. This is
the default.
</p></dd><dt id="ECPG-WHENEVER-GOTO"><span class="term"><code class="literal">GOTO <em class="replaceable"><code>label</code></em></code><br /></span><span class="term"><code class="literal">GO TO <em class="replaceable"><code>label</code></em></code></span> <a href="#ECPG-WHENEVER-GOTO" class="id_link">#</a></dt><dd><p>
Jump to the specified label (using a C <code class="literal">goto</code>
statement).
</p></dd><dt id="ECPG-WHENEVER-SQLPRINT"><span class="term"><code class="literal">SQLPRINT</code></span> <a href="#ECPG-WHENEVER-SQLPRINT" class="id_link">#</a></dt><dd><p>
Print a message to standard error. This is useful for simple
programs or during prototyping. The details of the message
cannot be configured.
</p></dd><dt id="ECPG-WHENEVER-STOP"><span class="term"><code class="literal">STOP</code></span> <a href="#ECPG-WHENEVER-STOP" class="id_link">#</a></dt><dd><p>
Call <code class="literal">exit(1)</code>, which will terminate the
program.
</p></dd><dt id="ECPG-WHENEVER-DO-BREAK"><span class="term"><code class="literal">DO BREAK</code></span> <a href="#ECPG-WHENEVER-DO-BREAK" class="id_link">#</a></dt><dd><p>
Execute the C statement <code class="literal">break</code>. This should
only be used in loops or <code class="literal">switch</code> statements.
</p></dd><dt id="ECPG-WHENEVER-DO-CONTINUE"><span class="term"><code class="literal">DO CONTINUE</code></span> <a href="#ECPG-WHENEVER-DO-CONTINUE" class="id_link">#</a></dt><dd><p>
Execute the C statement <code class="literal">continue</code>. This should
only be used in loops statements. if executed, will cause the flow
of control to return to the top of the loop.
</p></dd><dt id="ECPG-WHENEVER-CALL"><span class="term"><code class="literal">CALL <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em> (<em class="replaceable"><code>args</code></em>)</code><br /></span><span class="term"><code class="literal">DO <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em> (<em class="replaceable"><code>args</code></em>)</code></span> <a href="#ECPG-WHENEVER-CALL" class="id_link">#</a></dt><dd><p>
Call the specified C functions with the specified arguments. (This
use is different from the meaning of <code class="literal">CALL</code>
and <code class="literal">DO</code> in the normal PostgreSQL grammar.)
</p></dd></dl></div><p>
The SQL standard only provides for the actions
<code class="literal">CONTINUE</code> and <code class="literal">GOTO</code> (and
<code class="literal">GO TO</code>).
</p><p>
Here is an example that you might want to use in a simple program.
It prints a simple message when a warning occurs and aborts the
program when an error happens:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
EXEC SQL WHENEVER SQLWARNING SQLPRINT;
EXEC SQL WHENEVER SQLERROR STOP;
</pre><p>
</p><p>
The statement <code class="literal">EXEC SQL WHENEVER</code> is a directive
of the SQL preprocessor, not a C statement. The error or warning
actions that it sets apply to all embedded SQL statements that
appear below the point where the handler is set, unless a
different action was set for the same condition between the first
<code class="literal">EXEC SQL WHENEVER</code> and the SQL statement causing
the condition, regardless of the flow of control in the C program.
So neither of the two following C program excerpts will have the
desired effect:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
/*
* WRONG
*/
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
...
if (verbose) {
EXEC SQL WHENEVER SQLWARNING SQLPRINT;
}
...
EXEC SQL SELECT ...;
...
}
</pre><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
/*
* WRONG
*/
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
...
set_error_handler();
...
EXEC SQL SELECT ...;
...
}
static void set_error_handler(void)
{
EXEC SQL WHENEVER SQLERROR STOP;
}
</pre><p>
</p></div><div class="sect2" id="ECPG-SQLCA"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">36.8.2. sqlca <a href="#ECPG-SQLCA" class="id_link">#</a></h3></div></div></div><p>
For more powerful error handling, the embedded SQL interface
provides a global variable with the name <code class="varname">sqlca</code>
(SQL communication area)
that has the following structure:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
struct
{
char sqlcaid[8];
long sqlabc;
long sqlcode;
struct
{
int sqlerrml;
char sqlerrmc[SQLERRMC_LEN];
} sqlerrm;
char sqlerrp[8];
long sqlerrd[6];
char sqlwarn[8];
char sqlstate[5];
} sqlca;
</pre><p>
(In a multithreaded program, every thread automatically gets its
own copy of <code class="varname">sqlca</code>. This works similarly to the
handling of the standard C global variable
<code class="varname">errno</code>.)
</p><p>
<code class="varname">sqlca</code> covers both warnings and errors. If
multiple warnings or errors occur during the execution of a
statement, then <code class="varname">sqlca</code> will only contain
information about the last one.
</p><p>
If no error occurred in the last <acronym class="acronym">SQL</acronym> statement,
<code class="literal">sqlca.sqlcode</code> will be 0 and
<code class="literal">sqlca.sqlstate</code> will be
<code class="literal">"00000"</code>. If a warning or error occurred, then
<code class="literal">sqlca.sqlcode</code> will be negative and
<code class="literal">sqlca.sqlstate</code> will be different from
<code class="literal">"00000"</code>. A positive
<code class="literal">sqlca.sqlcode</code> indicates a harmless condition,
such as that the last query returned zero rows.
<code class="literal">sqlcode</code> and <code class="literal">sqlstate</code> are two
different error code schemes; details appear below.
</p><p>
If the last SQL statement was successful, then
<code class="literal">sqlca.sqlerrd[1]</code> contains the OID of the
processed row, if applicable, and
<code class="literal">sqlca.sqlerrd[2]</code> contains the number of
processed or returned rows, if applicable to the command.
</p><p>
In case of an error or warning,
<code class="literal">sqlca.sqlerrm.sqlerrmc</code> will contain a string
that describes the error. The field
<code class="literal">sqlca.sqlerrm.sqlerrml</code> contains the length of
the error message that is stored in
<code class="literal">sqlca.sqlerrm.sqlerrmc</code> (the result of
<code class="function">strlen()</code>, not really interesting for a C
programmer). Note that some messages are too long to fit in the
fixed-size <code class="literal">sqlerrmc</code> array; they will be truncated.
</p><p>
In case of a warning, <code class="literal">sqlca.sqlwarn[2]</code> is set
to <code class="literal">W</code>. (In all other cases, it is set to
something different from <code class="literal">W</code>.) If
<code class="literal">sqlca.sqlwarn[1]</code> is set to
<code class="literal">W</code>, then a value was truncated when it was
stored in a host variable. <code class="literal">sqlca.sqlwarn[0]</code> is
set to <code class="literal">W</code> if any of the other elements are set
to indicate a warning.
</p><p>
The fields <code class="structfield">sqlcaid</code>,
<code class="structfield">sqlabc</code>,
<code class="structfield">sqlerrp</code>, and the remaining elements of
<code class="structfield">sqlerrd</code> and
<code class="structfield">sqlwarn</code> currently contain no useful
information.
</p><p>
The structure <code class="varname">sqlca</code> is not defined in the SQL
standard, but is implemented in several other SQL database
systems. The definitions are similar at the core, but if you want
to write portable applications, then you should investigate the
different implementations carefully.
</p><p>
Here is one example that combines the use of <code class="literal">WHENEVER</code>
and <code class="varname">sqlca</code>, printing out the contents
of <code class="varname">sqlca</code> when an error occurs. This is perhaps
useful for debugging or prototyping applications, before
installing a more <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">user-friendly</span>”</span> error handler.
</p><pre class="programlisting">
EXEC SQL WHENEVER SQLERROR CALL print_sqlca();
void
print_sqlca()
{
fprintf(stderr, "==== sqlca ====\n");
fprintf(stderr, "sqlcode: %ld\n", sqlca.sqlcode);
fprintf(stderr, "sqlerrm.sqlerrml: %d\n", sqlca.sqlerrm.sqlerrml);
fprintf(stderr, "sqlerrm.sqlerrmc: %s\n", sqlca.sqlerrm.sqlerrmc);
fprintf(stderr, "sqlerrd: %ld %ld %ld %ld %ld %ld\n", sqlca.sqlerrd[0],sqlca.sqlerrd[1],sqlca.sqlerrd[2],
sqlca.sqlerrd[3],sqlca.sqlerrd[4],sqlca.sqlerrd[5]);
fprintf(stderr, "sqlwarn: %d %d %d %d %d %d %d %d\n", sqlca.sqlwarn[0], sqlca.sqlwarn[1], sqlca.sqlwarn[2],
sqlca.sqlwarn[3], sqlca.sqlwarn[4], sqlca.sqlwarn[5],
sqlca.sqlwarn[6], sqlca.sqlwarn[7]);
fprintf(stderr, "sqlstate: %5s\n", sqlca.sqlstate);
fprintf(stderr, "===============\n");
}
</pre><p>
The result could look as follows (here an error due to a
misspelled table name):
</p><pre class="screen">
==== sqlca ====
sqlcode: -400
sqlerrm.sqlerrml: 49
sqlerrm.sqlerrmc: relation "pg_databasep" does not exist on line 38
sqlerrd: 0 0 0 0 0 0
sqlwarn: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
sqlstate: 42P01

</p></div><div class="sect2" id="ECPG-SQLSTATE-SQLCODE"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">36.8.3. <code class="literal">SQLSTATE</code> vs. <code class="literal">SQLCODE</code> <a href="#ECPG-SQLSTATE-SQLCODE" class="id_link">#</a></h3></div></div></div><p>
The fields <code class="literal">sqlca.sqlstate</code> and
<code class="literal">sqlca.sqlcode</code> are two different schemes that
provide error codes. Both are derived from the SQL standard, but
<code class="literal">SQLCODE</code> has been marked deprecated in the SQL-92
edition of the standard and has been dropped in later editions.
Therefore, new applications are strongly encouraged to use
<code class="literal">SQLSTATE</code>.
</p><p>
<code class="literal">SQLSTATE</code> is a five-character array. The five
characters contain digits or upper-case letters that represent
codes of various error and warning conditions.
<code class="literal">SQLSTATE</code> has a hierarchical scheme: the first
two characters indicate the general class of the condition, the
last three characters indicate a subclass of the general
condition. A successful state is indicated by the code
<code class="literal">00000</code>. The <code class="literal">SQLSTATE</code> codes are for
the most part defined in the SQL standard. The
<span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> server natively supports
<code class="literal">SQLSTATE</code> error codes; therefore a high degree
of consistency can be achieved by using this error code scheme
throughout all applications. For further information see
<a class="xref" href="errcodes-appendix.html" title="Appendix A. PostgreSQL Error Codes">Appendix A</a>.
</p><p>
<code class="literal">SQLCODE</code>, the deprecated error code scheme, is a
simple integer. A value of 0 indicates success, a positive value
indicates success with additional information, a negative value
indicates an error. The SQL standard only defines the positive
value +100, which indicates that the last command returned or
affected zero rows, and no specific negative values. Therefore,
this scheme can only achieve poor portability and does not have a
hierarchical code assignment. Historically, the embedded SQL
processor for <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> has assigned
some specific <code class="literal">SQLCODE</code> values for its use, which
are listed below with their numeric value and their symbolic name.
Remember that these are not portable to other SQL implementations.
To simplify the porting of applications to the
<code class="literal">SQLSTATE</code> scheme, the corresponding
<code class="literal">SQLSTATE</code> is also listed. There is, however, no
one-to-one or one-to-many mapping between the two schemes (indeed
it is many-to-many), so you should consult the global
<code class="literal">SQLSTATE</code> listing in <a class="xref" href="errcodes-appendix.html" title="Appendix A. PostgreSQL Error Codes">Appendix A</a>
in each case.
</p><p>
These are the assigned <code class="literal">SQLCODE</code> values:
</p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt id="ECPG-SQLSTATE-SQLCODE-ECPG-NO-ERROR"><span class="term">0 (<code class="symbol">ECPG_NO_ERROR</code>)</span> <a href="#ECPG-SQLSTATE-SQLCODE-ECPG-NO-ERROR" class="id_link">#</a></dt><dd><p>
Indicates no error. (SQLSTATE 00000)
</p></dd><dt id="ECPG-SQLSTATE-SQLCODE-ECPG-NOT-FOUND"><span class="term">100 (<code class="symbol">ECPG_NOT_FOUND</code>)</span> <a href="#ECPG-SQLSTATE-SQLCODE-ECPG-NOT-FOUND" class="id_link">#</a></dt><dd><p>
This is a harmless condition indicating that the last command
retrieved or processed zero rows, or that you are at the end of
the cursor. (SQLSTATE 02000)
</p><p>
When processing a cursor in a loop, you could use this code as
a way to detect when to abort the loop, like this:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
while (1)
{
EXEC SQL FETCH ... ;
if (sqlca.sqlcode == ECPG_NOT_FOUND)
break;
}
</pre><p>
But <code class="literal">WHENEVER NOT FOUND DO BREAK</code> effectively
does this internally, so there is usually no advantage in
writing this out explicitly.
