     of a statement and both SQLSTATE and SQLCODE associated with the
     most recent SQL statement executed. The format of the string is
     "(char) [SQLSTATE=(two digits) (three digits) SQLCODE=(one
     digit)]". The first character can be '<literal> </literal>'
     (space) (success), '<literal>W</literal>' (the statement caused
     some warning), '<literal>E</literal>' (an error happened when
     executing the statement) or '<literal>N</literal>' (the statement
     didn't return any data).
