I want to return the error message from a procedure when an exception happens. In SQL Server you would select the Error_Number() and Error_Message(). How would I do it in FirebirdSql
SET TERM ^ ;
CREATE PROCEDURE sprocname
( id int )
RETURNS
( gcode int, errmsg varchar(250) )
AS
BEGIN
gcode = 0;
errmsg = '';
-- do procedure code here
WHEN ANY DO
BEGIN
gcode = gdscode; -- ??
errmsg = ??;
END
SUSPEND;
END^
SET TERM ; ^
Unfortunately you will need to do that at the client side, as it is currently not possible to obtain this in PSQL. There is a feature request in the Firebird tracker, which has been implemented for Firebird 4, which is expected to be released in 2019.
See Firebird 4 Alpha 1 release notes, section System Function RDB$ERROR() (warning: link might break with the next alpha release):
The function RDB$ERROR()
takes a PSQL error context as input and
returns the specific context of the active exception. Its scope is
confined to the context of the exception-handling block in PSQL.
Outside the exception handling block, RDB$ERROR
always contains
NULL
.
The type of the return value depends on the context.
Syntax Rules
RDB$ERROR ( context )
context ::= { GDSCODE | SQLCODE | SQLSTATE | EXCEPTION | MESSAGE }
[..]
Example
BEGIN
...
WHEN ANY DO
EXECUTE PROCEDURE P_LOG_EXCEPTION(RDB$ERROR(MESSAGE));
END
CREATE PROCEDURE ADD_COUNTRY (
ACountryName COUNTRYNAME,
ACurrency VARCHAR(10) )
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO country (country,
currency)
VALUES (:ACountryName,
:ACurrency);
WHEN ANY DO
BEGIN
-- write an error in log
IN AUTONOMOUS TRANSACTION DO
INSERT INTO ERROR_LOG (PSQL_MODULE,
GDS_CODE,
SQL_CODE,
SQL_STATE)
VALUES ('ADD_COUNTRY',
GDSCODE,
SQLCODE,
SQLSTATE);
-- Re-throw exception
EXCEPTION;
END
END
