 The getSQLState method is perfectly fine with me, I was mislead when I found
old posts on the web that said  that error codes were not supported at the server level.
I had first tried using the getErrorCode because all other drivers I have used
use this method. I guess making the getSQLState documentation easy available
would be the first thing to do.

As I said earlier you need to check SQLException.getSQLState, not
getErrorCode.

Why anyone would want to use error code instead of SQLSTATE is
beyond me, but since they're out there, perhaps we should implement
getErrorCode to interpret SQLSTATE as a base 36 number, and return
that number?  It might take less time than fielding the next
complaint.  ;-)

The biggest down side is that we'd have to document it....


Exactly, who's going to maintain this list of alternate error code versions?  If the main project was to put this version of the error codes in the master table of error codes, then I guess it would be OK.  I can't imagine proposing that though, unless there are other driver projects that are in the same position.
