OTL 4.0, Example 423

(otl_exception, derived from a base class, Sybase SQL Server)

This example demonstrates how to derive otl_exception from a base class, which may be part of already existing exception class hierarchy.

Source Code

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#include <stdio.h>

const int BASE_EXCEPTION=1; // "Base exception" class Id.
const int DB_BASE_EXCEPTION=2; // "DB Base exception" class Id.

// Let's assume that the following class is the base of 
// the system exception class hierarchy
class my_base_exception{
public:

  my_base_exception(){}
  virtual ~my_base_exception(){}

  virtual int getType(void) const
  {
    return BASE_EXCEPTION;
  }

  virtual int getErrorCode(void) const
  {
    return 0;
  }

  virtual const char* getErrorMessage(void) const
  {
    return "";
  }

};

#define OTL_ODBC_UNIX // Compile OTL 4.0/ODBC

// This #define connects the otl_exception class to the exception
// class hierarchy. 
#define OTL_EXCEPTION_DERIVED_FROM my_base_exception

// This #define defines a set of new members in the otl_exception
// class
#define OTL_EXCEPTION_HAS_MEMBERS                      \
  virtual int getType(void) const                      \
  {                                                    \
    return DB_BASE_EXCEPTION;                          \
  }                                                    \
                                                       \
  virtual int getErrorCode(void) const                 \

  {                                                    \

                 // SELECT statement
              db // connect object
             ); 
   // create select stream
 
 float f1;
 char f2[31];

 i<<8<<8; // assigning :f12 = 8, :f12 = 8
   // SELECT automatically executes when all input variables are
   // assigned. First portion of output rows is fetched to the buffer

Output

Database exception:
