We do not have a hierarchy of exceptions, because it migh be pretty
big. We throw SQLException subclass that returns you Firebird error
code if it is available (there might be other exceptions related to
JCA architecture). List of constants can be found in API guide or
Language Reference or in class org.firebirdsql.gds.ISCConstants.

Your catch clause should look like this:

try {

//... do something here

} catch(SQLException ex) {

switch(ex.getErrorCode()) {

case ISCConstants.isc_read_only :
throw new MyReadOnlyException();
....

default :
throw new MyDefaultException();
}
}

Probably it is not documented anywhere. Rick, can you include this in
FAQ and release notes?
