The following table shows the types of SQL errors you may encounter. The error values in the table are hexadecimal and can be shown in your code by using Hex(Err.Number).
Constant |
Value |
Description |
Explanation |
| DB_E_CANTCONVERTVALUE | 80040E07 | Cannot convert type, “constant.” | A literal value in the command text can not be converted to the type of the associated column for reasons other than data overflow. The error string should contain the offending constant. |
| DB_E_DATAOVERFLOW | 80040E57 | Constant value “constant” overflowed. | A literal value in the command text could not be stored in the type specified by the associated column. |
| DB_E_ERRORSINCOMMAND | 80040E14 | Incorrect syntax near “token.” | The command text contained one or more errors — typically a syntax error or unexpected keyword. The error string should contain the unexpected token. |
| E_OUTOFMEMORY | 8007000E | Out of memory. | Out of memory. |
| DB_E_NOTABLE | 80040E37 | Table “table” does not exist. | The specified table does not exist. The error string should contain the table name. |
| DB_E_BADCOLUMNID | 80040E11 | Field “field” does not exist. | A specified column did not exist. The error string should contain the erroneous field name. |
| DB_E_DUPLICATETABLEID | 80040E3F | Table “table” already exists. | The specified table already exists in the current data source. |
| DB_E_DUPLICATEINDEXID | 80040E34 | Index “index” already exists. | The specified index already exists in the current data source object. |
| DB_E_JOINNEEDINDEX | 80040E40 | Inner joins require that at least one of the tables is indexed on the joined terms near ‘%1!s’. | Multi-table inner joins require that at least one of the tables is indexed on the joined terms. |
| DB_E_NOINDEX | 80040E35 | Index “index” does not exist. | The specified index does not exist in the current data source or does not apply to the specified table. |
| DB_E_DUPLICATECOLUMNID | 80040E3E | Field “field” already exists. | A field name is identical in two or more elements. |
| DB_E_NOCOMMAND | 80040E0C | N/A | No command is set. |
| DB_E_BADBOOKMARK | 80040E0E | N/A | Invalid bookmark. |
| DB_E_DELETEDROW | 80040E23 | N/A | Row is deleted. |
| DB_E_CANTFETCHBACKWARDS | 80040E24 | N/A | A forward only cursor cannot read backwards. |
| DB_E_FIELDDIFFERENT | 80040E41 | Invalid field comparison near “%1!s.” | Two fields of different type were compared. |
| DB_E_FIELDMAXEXCEED | 80040E42 | Exceeded maximum columns in table near “%1!s.” | An attempt was made to use more than the maximum number of columns per table. |
