There is more incompatibilities to Oracle. SQLERRM is function on Oracle,
only if you use it without parametr, returns current message error.
SQLCODE is really integer. But it's only names. There is no problem change
it.

I didn't know it. But for my work is SQLERRM more important. I have more
constraints on tables and I need detect which which constraints raise
exception. The possibility EXCEPTION WITH OTHERS is nice, but not too much
usefull because I have not possibility get some informations about except.

I am not sure, I able create documentation - my english is poor. I will
change diff's format and send patch again.
