Detailed Description

Exception thrown when the database server encounters a problem while processing your query.

Unlike most other MySQL++ exceptions, which carry just an error message, this type carries an error number to preserve Connection::errnum()'s return value at the point the exception is thrown. We do this because when using the Transaction class, the rollback process that occurs during stack unwinding issues a query to the database server, overwriting the error value. This rollback should always succeed, so this effect can fool code that relies on Connection::errnum() into believing that there was no error.

Beware that in older versions of MySQL++, this was effectively the generic exception type. (This is most especially true in v1.7.x, but it continued to a lesser extent through the v2.x series.) When converting old code to new versions of MySQL++, it's therefore possible to get seemingly "new" exceptions thrown, which could crash your program if you don't also catch a more generic type like mysqlpp::Exception or std::exception.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

mysqlpp::BadQuery::BadQuery ( const char *  w = "",
int  e = 0 
) [inline, explicit]

Create exception object.

mysqlpp::BadQuery::BadQuery ( const std::string &  w,

w explanation for why the exception was thrown
e the error number from the underlying database API


Member Function Documentation

int mysqlpp::BadQuery::errnum (  )  const [inline]

Return the error number corresponding to the error message returned by what().

This may return the same value as Connection::errnum(), but not always. See the overview documentation for this class for the reason for the difference.
