Remarks

This class is created whenever an error generated by the database server. (Client-side errors are raised as standard common language runtime exceptions.) It always contains at least one instance of DB2®Error .

If the severity of the error is too great, the server can close the DB2Connection . If the server does close the connection, the application will need to open a new connection.

Example

[Visual Basic, C#] The following example generates an DB2Exception due to a missing database, and then displays the exception.

[Visual Basic]
Public Sub ThrowDB2Exception()
    Dim mySelectQuery As String = "SELECT column1 FROM table1"
    Dim myConnection As New DB2Connection _
       ("DATABASE=BADDB;")
    Dim myCommand As New DB2Command(mySelectQuery, myConnection)
    Try
        myCommand.Connection.Open()
    Catch myException As DB2Exception
        Dim i As Integer
        For i = 0 To myException.Errors.Count - 1
            MessageBox.Show("Index #" + i.ToString() + ControlChars.Cr _
               + "Message: " + myException.Errors(i).Message 
                             + ControlChars.Cr _
               + "Native: " + myException.Errors(i).NativeError.ToString() 
                  + ControlChars.Cr _
               + "Source: " + myException.Errors(i).Source + ControlChars.Cr _
               + "SQL: " + myException.Errors(i).SQLState + ControlChars.Cr)
        Next i
    End Try
End Sub

[C#]
public void ThrowDB2Exception()
{
   string mySelectQuery = "SELECT column1 FROM table1";
   DB2Connection myConnection =
      new DB2Connection("DATABASE=BADDB;");
   DB2Command myCommand = new DB2Command(mySelectQuery,myConnection);
   try
   {
      myCommand.Connection.Open();
   }
   catch (DB2Exception myException)
   {
      for (int i=0; i < myException.Errors.Count; i++)
     {
         MessageBox.Show("Index #" + i + "\n" +
             "Message: " + myException.Errors[i].Message + "\n" +
             "Native: " + myException.Errors[i].NativeError.ToString() + "\n" +
             "Source: " + myException.Errors[i].Source + "\n" +
             "SQL: " + myException.Errors[i].SQLState + "\n");
     }
   }
