The character string value that is returned for a SQLSTATE is made up of a two-character class value followed by a three-character derived class value. A class value of '01' indicates a warning and is accompanied by a return code of SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO. Class values other than '01', except for the class 'IM', indicate an error and are accompanied by a return code of SQL_ERROR. The class 'IM' is specific to warnings and errors that derive from the implementation of ODBC itself. The derived class value '000' in any class is for implementation-defined conditions in the specified class. The assignment of class and derived class values is defined by ANSI SQL2.
