I believe there is nothing currently available in MySQL that allows access to the SQLSTATE of the last executed statement within a MySQL stored procedure. This means that when a generic SQLException is raised within a stored procedure it is hard/impossible to derive the exact nature of the error.

Does anybody have a workaround for deriving the SQLSTATE of an error in a MySQL stored procedure that does not involve declaring a handler for every possible SQLSTATE?

For example – imagine that I am trying to return an error_status that goes beyond the generic “SQLException happened somewhere in this BEGIN....END block” in the following:

DELIMITER $$

CREATE PROCEDURE `myProcedure`(OUT o_error_status varchar(50))
MY_BLOCK: BEGIN

 DECLARE EXIT handler for 1062 set o_error_status := "Duplicate entry in table";
 DECLARE EXIT handler for 1048 set o_error_status := "Trying to populate a non-null column with null value"; 
-- declare handlers ad nauseum here....

 DECLARE EXIT handler for sqlexception set o_error_status:= "Generic SQLException. You'll just have to figure out the SQLSTATE yourself...." ;

-- Procedure logic that might error to follow here...

END MY_BLOCK$$

Any tips?

PS I am running MySQL 5.1.49
