Examples

Example 1

The following fragment returns all exceptions except for Column Not Found to the application.

	FOR SQLSTATE '52003';
...
EXCEPTION
WHEN COLUMN_NOT_FOUND THEN
SET message='Column not found' ;
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RESIGNAL ;

Usage

Within an exception handler, RESIGNAL allows you to quit the compound statement with the exception still active, or to quit reporting another named exception. The exception will be handled by another exception handler or returned to the application. Any actions by the exception handler before the RESIGNAL are undone.
