ADO Error Object SQLState Property

The SQL state for a given Error object.

SQLState Property Return Values

Returns a five-character String that follows the ANSI SQL standard.

SQLState Property Remarks

Use the SQLState property to read the five-character error code that the provider returns when an error occurs during the processing of a SQL statement. For example, when using the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC with a SQL Server database, SQL state error codes originate from ODBC based either on errors specific to ODBC or on errors that originate from Microsoft SQL Server, and are then mapped to ODBC errors. These error codes are documented in the ANSI SQL standard, but may be implemented differently by different data sources.
