SQL Exceptions
The java.sql.SQLException class extends the general java.lang.Exception class that provides extra information about a database error.
Each SQLException provides several kinds of information:
- A string describing the error. This is used as the Java exception message, available via the method
getMessage.
- An “SQLstate” string, which follows either the XOPEN
SQLstate conventions or the SQL99 conventions.
- An integer error code that is specific to each vendor.
Normally this will be the actual error code returned by the underlying database.
- A chain to a next exception.
This can be used to provide additional error information.

If you have serveral errors during the execution of a transaction, you can chain them all together in this class.
This is useful when you have exceptions that you want to let the user to know about, but you do not want to stop processing.
The class
SQLWarning provides information on database access warnings.
Warnings are silently chained to the object whose method caused it to be reported.
