ifx_error

Name

ifx_error — Returns error code of last Informix call

Synopsis

string ifx_error(void)

Returns

Void

Description

Returns information about any errors that occurred in the database. These errors can relate to problems such as incorrect logins, through to query execution errors or system errors.

ifx_error() returns a formatted error code from the database according to the following format: X [SQLSTATE=AA BBB SQLCODE=-CCC]. Where:

  • X is a general error condition and can be one either be a space indicating to error, E indicating an error, N indicating no more data (for example, you go beyond the end of the result set), W indicating a warning and ? indicating an undefined error.

  • AA is the SQLSTATE error class an correlates roughly to the general error condition indicated by X. A value of 00 indicates success, 01 indicates a warning, 02 indicates end of data which anything higher indicates a range of general errors.

  • BBB represents the subclass of the errorcode indicated by AAA.

  • CCC or the SQLCODE is a three letter digit indicating the actual type of error that occurred. This can be further expanded upon by calling ifx_errormsg() or by using the 'finderr'

For more information on errors contained in SQLSTATE or SQLCODE, consult your informix documentation.
