Error Handling (JDBC Driver)

When errors occur, the SAP MaxDB JDBC driver triggers exceptions of the following classes. All classes are subclasses of the java.sql.SQLException class of the Java platform.

SAP MaxDB JDBC Driver: Exceptions
Class	Description
`com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.exceptions.DatabaseException`	Error when executing an SQL statement
`com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.exceptions.InternalJDBCError`	Internal error of the JDBC driver
`com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.exceptions.InvalidArgumentValue`	An invalid parameter value has been transferred to a method
`com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.exceptions.InvalidColumnException`	An invalid column of an object in the class `ResultSet` was accessed
`com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.exceptions.JDBCDriverException`	Internal error of the JDBC driver
`com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.exceptions.NotSupportedException`	A property has been used that the JDBC driver does not support
`com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.exceptions.ObjectIsClosedException`	Object in the class `Connection`, `Statement`, or `ResultSet` accessed after `close` method called for this object.
`com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.exceptions.PrepareExecution`	Error when preparing an SQL statement
`com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.translators.ConversionExceptionSapDB`	Error when converting between Java and SQL data types

In order to write a Java application that is independent of the database product, do not explicitly query the above-mentioned exceptions in catch statements, but only exceptions of the java.sql.SQLException class.
