C.3. Server Error Codes and Messages

MySQL programs have access to several types of error information when the server returns an error. For example, the mysql client program displays errors using the following format:

shell> SELECT * FROM no_such_table;ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'test.no_such_table' doesn't exist

The message displayed contains three types of information:

For error checking, use error codes, not error messages. Error messages do not change often, but it is possible. Also if the database administrator changes the language setting, that affects the language of error messages.

Error codes are stable across GA releases of a given MySQL series. Before a series reaches GA status, new codes may still be under development and subject to change.

Server error information comes from the following source files. For details about the way that error information is defined, see the MySQL Internals Manual.

Because updates are frequent, it is possible that those files will contain additional error information not listed here.
