/** defines error conditions for OpenOffice.org Base core components

    <p>Core components of OpenOffice.org will use those error conditions
    as error codes (<member scope="com::sun::star::sdbc">SQLException::ErrorCode</member>)
    whereever possible.<br/>
    That is, if an <code>SQLException</code> is raised by
    such a component, caused by an error condition which is included in the
    <type>ErrorCondition</type> group, then the respective <em>negative</em> value
    will be used as <code>ErrorCode</code>.</p>

    <p>This allows to determine specific error conditions in your client code, and
    to handle it appropriately.</p>

    <p>Note that before you examine the <code>ErrorCode</code> member of a caught
    <code>SQLException</code>, you need to make sure that the exception
    is really thrown by an OpenOffice.org Base core component. To do so, check
    whether the error message (<code>Exception::Message</code>) starts with the
    vendor string <code>[OOoBase]</code>.</p>

    <p>The list of defined error conditions, by nature, is expected to permanently grow,
    so never assume it being finalized.</p>

    @example Java
    <listing>
    catch ( SQLException e )
    {
    &nbsp;&nbsp;if ( e.Message.startsWith( "[OOoBase]" ) )
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if ( e.ErrorCode + ErrorCondition.SOME_ERROR_CONDITION == 0 )
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;handleSomeErrorCondition();
    }
    </listing>
