Re: SQLException subclasses

There is work in progress (I think) to have the backend generate integer
error codes based on different occurences; once this occurs the error
numbers are going to be propogated through to the front-end (JDBC driver)
where we will be able to say SQLException.getErrorCode() and perform
different actions for different problems.

ATM, though, I think you're stuck with parsing the messages you get back
:( I have done this for an internal app in a few cases, and it works, but
it very likely to break at some stage (l10n of error messages etc).
