[jira] Created: (DERBY-1835) SQL State Messages need to be reviewed and improved for clarity and completeness.

SQL State Messages need to be reviewed and improved for clarity and completeness.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-1835
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1835
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 10.2.1.0
            Reporter: Laura Stewart


The SQL State messages in the Reference Manual need to be reviewed and cleaned up.  
Some of the problems are:
- Unclear messages, object that the message refers to is not not clear
- Message too brief
- Capitalization of data types
- Capitalization of the sentence beginning word
- Missing punctuation

Laura Stewart commented on DERBY-1835:
--------------------------------------

Examples:

#1 
XCL41 "the delete rule of foreign key can not be CASCADE. (The
relationship would cause another table to be delete-connected to the same
table through multiple paths with different delete rules or with delete rule
equal to SET NULL.)"

- The first word "the" needs to be "The" 
- "can not" should be one word
- The second sentence does not need the parenthesis

#2
Message XJ215 should be updated to reflect that Clob/Blob are referring to method calls.
The data types are not capitalized in Java. The message code needs to be changed not just
the text.
The message should be:

XJ215  You cannot invoke other java.sql.Clob/java.sql.Blob methods after
calling the free() method."

----------------------------------


This issue is sort of generic.  To get some progress here the best case would be:
o submit a patch with proposed changes to the actual message file and the with the various test master
    files fixed.

If someone is interested in working on just the "english" part of this project I or another committer 
may be able to help on the test master side.  I would suggest posting a patch with proposed changes
 to the error messages, working incrementally so not too many masters at a time.    It would be much
better to post the actual message file patch, then to try and describe the changes.

--------------------------------------------

Please be sure to make these changes in the java/engine/org/apache/derby/loc/messages_en.properties.  And be aware, *very aware*, that every time you change a message test you are likely to engender numerous diffs in the derbyall regression suite.  I speak from Experience.

Oh, and these diffs are encountered across all VMs and drivers, so there is quite an explosion of diffs.  JDK 1.3, 1.4, 1.6, embedded driver, network client driver, and IBM j9 driver all are impacted by message changes.

Laura Stewart commented on DERBY-1835:
--------------------------------------

Another example:

XJ100. 
At the end of the message text, there is an exclamation point and a close quotation
mark.  Both should be removed and a period should end the message
text.

The fact that a warning is returned is sufficient, the exclamation
point is unnecessary.

The current text is:

XJ100  The scale supplied by the registerOutParameter method
does not match with the setter method. Possible loss of precision!"
