I changed names on SQLSTATE and SQLERRM. The behave our SQLSTATE and db2
SQLSTATE is very similar. But Oracle support SQLSTATE too (in ANSI mode).
Only Oracle support SQLERRM.

http://developer.mimer.com/howto/howto_25.htm

SQLSTATE, a 5-character return value specified by the SQL standard,
replaced SQLCODE years ago (SQL-92?). Perhaps both Oracle and DB2/2
have support for it.

But I didn't find good informations about error trapping in ANSI SQL. All
informations are about Oracle or DB2 :-(.
