I don’t know which is the shortest way to look at the error descriptions like “ERRORCODE=-4463, SQLSTATE=42601”
Generally I google such kind of error descriptions and I can get the result somewhat anyways.
But this turns out to be very inefficient, sometimes it is just difficult to get description regarding the error code and sql state.
I know the db2 built in command like : db2 ? SQL0443N will provide information about specific SQLCODE
But when encountered error description like that above , how do I turn that into a SQLCODE, so that I can lookup it quickly using db2 ?
what #Clockwork-Muse commented is definitely correct.
and I am now referring to these documents for the SQL codes and states. hmm neat
SQL ERROR CODE LOOKUP
SQL STATE CODE LOOKUP
Here is the link with different DB2 error codes https://urssanj00.wordpress.com/2008/03/04/db2-sql-error-code-and-description/
This saved me tons of hours!

What does this part mean
"Stop using query-provided column aliases for the columns of whole-row variables that refer to plain tables"
I tried testing with various sql codes to reproduce the above, but I couldn't reproduce it.
Before upgrading to 12.11, I would like to know in advance how the above will affect our system.
Can you explain the above with sql code?
I have a large database that I am currently exporting from Microsoft Access (Version 2006 Build 13001.20384) to PostgreSQL 10.12 (Ubuntu 10.12-0ubuntu0.18.04.1). So far this worked very well, but I have problems with one particular table. When I start the export, I get the following error message:
ERROR: syntax error at or near '/';
Error while executing the query (#1)
Unfortunately I do not know how to deal with this error message and I have not found any information about this message on the Internet. Maybe someone here can help me.
[I copy my previous comment, since it contains useful content for the solution, so this question can appear as solved... and it contains also suggestions for someone in the future with the same problem.]
You say "with one particular table"... maybe the name of that table or a column name of that table is a keyword for postgresql and not for access (it seems the name contain a '/').
Try to split the import if you don't know the table to isolate the problem. E.g. divide the query in 2 halves, then do the same for the half that give the syntax error. If you update your question with the table definition that gives error we can help you find the exact problem if you can't figure it out.
We are trying to load the data from one postgres table to another postgres table in the same database using informatica. And we are having the following issue -
The error message is as follows:
Message Code: WRT_8229
Message: Database errors occurred:
FnName: Execute -- [Informatica][ODBC PostgreSQL Wire Protocol driver][PostgreSQL]ERROR: VERROR; syntax error at or near "VALUESNSERT"(Position 135; File scan.l; Line 1134; Routine scanner_yyerror; ) Error in parameter 6.
FnName: Execute -- [Informatica][ODBC PostgreSQL Wire Protocol driver][PostgreSQL]Failed transaction. The current transaction rolled back. Error in parameter 6.
FnName: Execute -- [DataDirect][ODBC lib] Function sequence error
It is working fine if we are not loading one of the string column which is of 3000 bytes. Can anyone please shed some light on this issue -
Note: There are no reserved/keywords in our table structure
if you have already identified the error-causing column then, you can follow below steps to find the root cause -
1. You can check the data type of the column in informatica - if it is matching to the target in DB in terms of length and data type.
2. Make sure you import the target from database. Creating target from other process or adding column to existing target can lead to such error.
3. run in verbose mode or debug to see where exactly its causing issue. Check if its reading, transforming, and loading data properly etc.
4. remove postgres target and attach a flat file - if this works then there is issue in database table. Check for index, constraints etc. which can lead to this issue.
5. Check ODBC version as well which may have lots of limitations like data type, length handling. ODBC is also not good at generating errors so you may have to do some guesswork etc to find out.
Thanks everyone. My issue got resolved after implementing Informatica PDO.
TSQL here. Specifically Server 2008(literally just upgraded)
Concerning stored procedures: Try/Catch
I was trying to make a list of cases when a Select Statement will throw an exception. The ones I can think of are syntax related(includes null variables) and divide by zero. I'm only guessing there are just a whole boat load of them for Insert/Alter and Create/Truncate.
If you happen to know of a good source link, that would be great.
This question came up when I was reading this exhaustive blog post about error handling for SQL server. It's titled for SQL Server 2000, but I think most of it still applies.

Sorry, I meant to link this earlier. . .

Outside for compile ("didnt' run") errors, you have at least these runtime errors
arithmetic errors
These change based on various SET statement
Example: get sql server to warn about truncation / rounding
overflow errors
example: one of the rows overflows smallint in some calculation
CAST errors
eg you try ISNUMERIC in a WHERE or CASE and try to cast 'bob^' or 1.23 to int
See Why use Select Top 100 Percent?
However, you'd always want to use TRY/CATCH though, surely...?
Adding to gbn's post, you can also get locking errors like lock wait timeouts and deadlocks.
If you are referencing #Temp tables, you can get "Invalid object name '#Temp'" errors, because these are unbound until the statement executes.
If you are in READ UNCOMMITTED or WITH (NOLOCK), you can get error: 601 - "Could not continue scan with NOLOCK due to data movement."
If your code runs .NET code, you would probably get exceptions from there.
If your code selects from a remote server, you could a whole different set of errors about connections.
I'm using SQL Server Express 2008 and I'm doing a bulk insert of data. I'd like to have more verbose error messages, ideally printing the data that failed to be inserted. Is that possible?
It is possible, but it can require a lot of effort to to do this--I recall working on a subsystem for a few days before I got it to do everything it needed to do. I believe this is one of the (few but still too many) places where, upon hitting an error, SQL will return two (2) error messages back-to-back, the second message is vague and indistinct, and all the error handling functions can only access info pertaining to that second lame message, and not the first one where the real info is. I don't have the code in front of me, but the logic was something like:
Use the "errorfile" option on BULK INSERT to generate an error file IF the bulk insert fails
TRY/CATCH the bulk insert call, and carefully check the returned error number
If the error is the appropriate type, open and read the contents of the file to determine what went wrong where, and build your error message around that
Awkward as anything, but ultimately it worked out pretty well. So long as the drive+path+filename you were inserting from didn't exceed 128 characters (in SQL 2005, and I just bet they didn't fix that in 2008.) I do not count Bulk Insert as one of my favorite commands.
