Overview

The database engine error functions and classes are used to catch and/or record database exceptions that occur during run-time. This implementation can be used with or without C++ built-in exception handling. If C++ exception handling is not enabled then the gxDatabaseError enumerated constants can be used to evaluate database errors.

Conditional Directives

__CPP_EXCEPTIONS__

- Directive used to enable C++ exception handling.

Enumerations

Integer constants used to record the last reported error condition and as return values for the database engine file functions.

    enum gxDatabaseError { // Database error codes
      gxDBASE_NO_ERROR = 0,        // No errors reported
      gxDBASE_INVALID_CODE,        // Invalid error code
      gxDBASE_ACCESS_VIOLATION,    // Access Violation
      gxDBASE_ASSERT_ERROR,        // Assertion failed
      gxDBASE_BAD_CLASS_ID,        // Wrong object type
      gxDBASE_BAD_OBJECT_ADDRESS,  // Bad object address
      gxDBASE_BAD_REFERENCE,       // Bad Reference
      gxDBASE_BLOCK_ALLOC_ERROR,   // Block allocation error

      gxDBASE_OBJECT_EXISTS,       // Object already exists
      gxDBASE_OPEN_FILE_REFERENCE, // Another object is referencing this file
      gxDBASE_OVERFLOW,            // Math overflow
      gxDBASE_PARSE_ERROR,         // Parse error
      gxDBASE_PATH_ERROR,          // Invalid path
      gxDBASE_READ_ONLY_FILE,      // Trying to write to read-only file

      gxDBASE_RECORDLOCK_ERROR          // Error locking a record
    };

Exception Classes

Class declarations for exceptions representing program errors. This implementation is provided for optional use with the C++ built-in exception handling routines "try", "catch", and "throw."

gxCDatabaseException

- Exception class thrown by the database engine file functions to indicate that a fatal file error condition has been reached. All database engine file calls must catch this exception and evaluate it by testing the gxDatabase internal error variable.

Functions

const char *gxDatabaseExceptionMessage(gxDatabaseError err)

- Standalone function that returns a null terminated string, which can be use to log or print a database exception message.
