when you trap an error of type database, you're provided with SQLState and NativeErrorCode. examine these with your CATCH, then do what you like with the user.

But I've never been clear on exactly how to catch specific ODBC type of errors, to put up a custom error message. I want an error message for : ODBC Error Code = 22001 (String data right truncation) If that error comes up, as opposed to any other error, I want to be able to say, "Hey buddy, you're input field is too big -- trim it back") I've used CFTHROW to do something like <cfif form.field is "blah"> throw </cfif> .... but I'm not sure I can catch and ODBC error and throw a custom error -- can I? How would you handle this?
