SQLSTATE is a status variable to which SQL exception and completion conditions are posted. SQLSTATE is used both by embedded SQL applications and by stored procedures to reflect the execution status of a statement.
SQLSTATE codes represent successful completion and exception (error or failure) conditions. The keyword SQLEXCEPTION is used to represent all exception SQLSTATE values.
