I have a Java application which queries a database table which the current user account may or may not have access to. If an exception is returned, I would like to distinguish between AccessDenied and the database server being down/offline. I expected that db2 would throw a PermissionDeniedDataAccessException when the user does not have select privileges on a table. However, when I tested it, db2 threw an InvalidDataAccessResourceUsageException.

Is it safe to catch an InvalidDataAccessResourceUsageException and handle it as an AccessDenied exception? Why doesn’t db2 throw a PermissionDeniedDataAccessException?

FYI: I am using the JDBC driver for db2 and not the ODBC driver so I expected better Java support.
