ALLBASE/SQL Message Manual (36216-90213)

Preface
This manual explains the causes of warning and error conditions which may occur during
the use of the following components of ALLBASE/SQL: SQL, ISQL, SQLUtil, the
preprocessors, SQLMigrate, NET, or NETUtil as implemented on HP 3000 computers
running under the MPE/iX operating system. It also presents actions to be taken in
response to these warning and error conditions. ALLBASE/SQL is the basic component of
Hewlett-Packard's relational database management system.
MPE/iX, Multiprogramming Executive with Integrated POSIX, is the latest in a series of
forward-compatible operating systems for the HP 3000 line of computers. In HP
documentation and in talking with HP 3000 users, you will encounter references to MPE
XL, the direct predecessor of MPE/iX. MPE/iX is a superset of MPE XL. All programs
written for MPE XL will run without change under MPE/iX. You can continue to use MPE
XL system documentation, although it may not refer to features added to the operating
system to support POSIX (for example, hierarchical directories).
This manual is for database administrators, application programmers, and others who are
using ALLBASE/SQL. It presumes that the user already has a basic understanding of
database and ALLBASE/SQL concepts. The contents of this manual are as follows:
• Chapter 1, "Introduction," discusses warning and error messages and how to use the
manual.
• Chapter 2, "ALLBASE/SQL Warning Messages," describes ALLBASE/SQL warnings,
and indicates their probable cause and the appropriate user actions.
• Chapters 3-10, "ALLBASE/SQL Error Messages," describes ALLBASE/SQL errors, and
indicates their probable cause and the appropriate user actions.
