Most error classes returned by Spark SQL are associated with a 5 character SQLSTATE. A SQLSTATE is a SQL standard encoding for error conditions commonly used by JDBC, ODBC, and other client APIs.

A SQLSTATE consists of two portions: A two character class, and a three character subclass. Each character must be a digit '0' to '9' or 'A' to 'Z'.

While many SQLSTATE values are prescribed by the SQL standard, others are common in the industry, specific to Spark.

For an ordered list of error classes see: Error Conditions in Spark SQL

Spark SQL uses the following SQLSTATE classes:
