java.sql.SQLException

Derby supplies values for the getMessage(), getSQLState(), and getErrorCode() calls of SQLExceptions. In addition, Derby sometimes returns multiple SQLExceptions using the nextException chain. The first exception is always the most severe exception, with SQL-92 Standard exceptions preceding those that are specific to Derby. For information on processing SQLExceptions, see "Working with Derby SQLExceptions in an Application" in Chapter 5 of the Derby Developer's Guide.
