<h1 class="topictitle1">SQLWarning</h1>
<div><p>Methods in some interfaces generate an SQLWarning object if the
methods cause a database access warning.</p>
<p>Methods in the following interfaces can generate an SQLWarning:</p>
<ul><li>Connection</li>
<li>Statement and its subtypes, PreparedStatement and CallableStatement</li>
<li>ResultSet</li>
</ul>
<p> When a method generates an SQLWarning object, the caller is not informed
that a data access warning has occurred. The getWarnings method must be called
on the appropriate object to retrieve the SQLWarning object. However, the
DataTruncation subclass of SQLWarning may be thrown in some circumstances.
It should be noted that the native JDBC driver opts to ignore some database-generated
warnings for increased efficiency. For example, a warning is generated by
the system when you attempt to retrieve data beyond the end of a ResultSet
through the ResultSet.next method. In this case, the next method is defined
to return false instead of true, informing you of the error. It is unnecessary
to create an object to restate this, so the warning is simply ignored. </p>
<p>If multiple data access warnings occur, they are chained to the first one
and can be retrieved by calling the SQLWarning.getNextWarning method. If there
are no more warnings in the chain, getNextWarning returns <samp class="codeph">null</samp>.</p>
<p>Subsequent SQLWarning objects continue to be added to the chain until the
next statement is processed or, in the case of a ResultSet object, when the
cursor is repositioned. As a result, all SQLWarning objects in the chain are
removed.</p>
<p>Using Connection, Statement, and ResultSet objects can cause SQLWarnings
to be generated. SQLWarnings are informational messages indicating that while
a particular operation has completed successfully, there might be other information
of which you should be aware. SQLWarnings are an extension of the SQLException
class, but they are not thrown. They are instead attached to the object that
causes their generation. When an SQLWarning is generated, nothing happens
to inform the application that the warning has been generated. Your application
must actively request warning information.</p>
<p>Like SQLExceptions, SQLWarnings can be chained to one another. You can
call the clearWarnings method on a Connection, Statement, or ResultSet object
to clear the warnings for that object.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Calling the clearWarnings method does not clear all warnings. It only
clears the warnings that are associated with a particular object.</div>
<p>The JDBC driver clears SQLWarning objects at specific times
if you do not clear them manually. SQLWarning objects are cleared when the
following actions are taken:</p>
<ul><li>For the Connection interface, warnings are cleared on the creation of
a new Statement, PreparedStatement, or CallableStatement object.</li>
<li>For the Statement interface, warnings are cleared when the next statement
is processed (or when the statement is processed again for PreparedStatements
and CallableStatements).</li>
<li>For the ResultSet interface, warnings are cleared when the cursor is repositioned. </li>
</ul>
