SQLCODE

SQLCODE is a term used in the context of database management systems, particularly in the IBM Db2 database. It refers to a numeric value returned by the database system to indicate the outcome of a SQL statement execution. SQLCODE values are standardized and can be used to determine whether a SQL statement was successful or if an error occurred. A value of zero (0) typically indicates that the SQL statement executed successfully without any errors. Non-zero values indicate various types of errors, such as syntax errors, constraint violations, or runtime errors. Each SQLCODE value corresponds to a specific error condition, and these values can be used in error handling and debugging processes to diagnose and resolve issues in database applications. SQLCODE is an essential tool for developers and database administrators to manage and troubleshoot database operations effectively.
