MDAC 2.5 SDK - ODBC Desktop Database Drivers
All errors and warnings not checked or partially checked by the Driver Manager are handled by the driver. The driver also maps native errors, or errors returned by the data source, to SQLSTATEs. Each function listed in the ODBC Programmer's Reference contains a "Diagnostics" section that specifies conditions and messages.
Applications call SQLGetDiagRec to retrieve SQLSTATE, native error code, and diagnostic messages. Calling SQLGetDiagField and specifying the field retrieves individual diagnostic fields. The support level of the diagnostic identifiers is listed in the following table.
| DiagIdentifiers | Support level |
| SQL_DIA_DYNAMIC_FUNCTION | Not supported |
| SQL_DIAG_CLASS_ORIGIN | Supported. Always "ODBC 3.0" for versions 3.0 and later of this driver. |
| SQL_DIAG_COLUMN_NUMBER | Supported |
| SQL_DIAG_CURSOR_ROW_COUNT | Not supported |
| SQL_DIAG_DYNAMIC_FUNCTION_CODE | Not supported |
| SQL_DIAG_MESSAGE_TEXT | Supported |

| SQL_DIAG_NUMBER | Supported |
| SQL_DIAG_RETURNCODE | Supported but implemented by the Driver Manager |
| SQL_DIAG_ROW_COUNT | Supported |
| SQL_DIAG_ROW_NUMBER | Supported |
| SQL_DIAG_SERVER_NAME | Not supported |
