I think we discussed this last year and decided that it would be a bad
idea to use those names because Oracle's use of them is not exactly
compatible with our error codes and messages. SQLCODE in particular is
not compatible at all --- it's an integer in Oracle, isn't it?
IIRC we had put off solving this problem until we decided what to do
with RAISE. There really needs to be some changes in RAISE to allow it
to raise a specific error code rather than always P0001, but exactly
what is still undecided.
Some other problems with your patch: no documentation, and not in
diff -c format. Plain diff patches are never acceptable because
it's too risky to apply them against files that might have changed
since you started working with them. Also, it's much easier to
deal with one patch than with a separate diff for each file.
(diff -c -r between an original and a modified directory is one
good way to produce a useful patch.)
