Error Codes

Previous Top Next

Here is the list of error codes which could be useful to handle errors and to provide user with the proper error message.
You can see a practical example of errors handling in the MultiUser demo supplied with the Absolute DB.

// error codes
const ABS_ERR_OK = 0;
const ABS_ERR_INSERT_RECORD = -1;
const ABS_ERR_UPDATE_RECORD = -2;
const ABS_ERR_DELETE_RECORD = -3;
const ABS_ERR_UPDATE_RECORD_MODIFIED = -4;
const ABS_ERR_DELETE_RECORD_MODIFIED = -5;
const ABS_ERR_UPDATE_RECORD_DELETED = -6;
const ABS_ERR_DELETE_RECORD_DELETED = -7;

const ABS_ERR_CONSTRAINT_VIOLATED = -8;
const ABS_ERR_UPDATE_RECORD_PROHIBITED = -9;
const ABS_ERR_DELETE_RECORD_PROHIBITED = -10;
const ABS_ERR_CANCEL_PROHIBITED = -11;

const ABS_ERR_RECORD_LOCKED = -12;
const ABS_ERR_TABLE_LOCKED = -13;

Example:

procedure TMainForm.ABSTable1DeleteError(DataSet: TDataSet;
  E: EDatabaseError; var Action: TDataAction);
begin
   Action:=daAbort;
   if (E is EABSEngineError) then
        case (EABSEngineError(E).ErrorCode) of
          ABS_ERR_RECORD_LOCKED:
           begin
           if MessageDlg('The record is locked. '+
                         'Do you want to try to delete this record again?',
                          mtWarning,[mbYes,mbNo],0)=mrYes then
              Action:=daRetry;
           end;
          ABS_ERR_TABLE_LOCKED:
           begin
           if MessageDlg('The table is locked. '+
                         'Do you want to try to delete this record again?',
                          mtWarning,[mbYes,mbNo],0)=mrYes then
              Action:=daRetry;
           end;
          ABS_ERR_DELETE_RECORD_MODIFIED:
           begin
             MessageDlg('The record you are trying to delete has been modified by another user. '+
                        'The table will now be refreshed. If you want to delete this record, try again.',
                        mtWarning,[mbOk],0);
             DataSet.Refresh;
           end;
          ABS_ERR_DELETE_RECORD_DELETED:
           begin
             MessageDlg('The record you are trying to delete has been deleted by another user '+
                        'The table will now be refreshed',
                        mtWarning,[mbOk],0);
             DataSet.Refresh;
           end
      else
         MessageDlg(E.Message,mtError,[mbOK],0);
       end
   else
      MessageDlg(E.Message,mtError,[mbOK],0);
end;
