I had to do a web search to find out what pqxx was. It is a C++
connector for PostgreSQL that's been around for ten years and most
recently released a new version two months ago.

http://pqxx.org/development/libpqxx/

From there it was pretty easy to find that making the SQLSTATE
available to the programmer is recognized as a desirable
enhancement, but has not yet been done:

http://pqxx.org/development/libpqxx/ticket/219

So I guess that leaves one parsing the text of the error messages
and hoping you know what language is going to be there.

Should pqxx be included in the table of externally maintained
client interfaces?:
