Poco::Data::ODBC::StatementException is caught by DataException

[DougE]

Hi,

I have code as follows:

try {
try {
SQL execute call
...
other processing
} catch (DataException dex) {
process it
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
process this differently
}

I mistyped my SQL statement and it threw a StatementException which is a typedef for a HandleException which is a sub-class of an ODBCException which is a sub-class of DataException. However, the HandleException gets caught by the Exception clause and NOT the DataException clause.

Can someone explain this to me?

It also seems wierd that with HandleExceptions I have to do a toString() call to get the text instead of message() like everything else. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Doug

I tried it and indeed that is what happens. It will catch ODBCException, though. I'm not quite sure why. I'm on vacation as of tomorrow, so maybe someone else will be able to answer this.

Leftover from early days of Data lib design. It's been taken care of in SVN trunk.
