Instead of the constraint, you could define a trigger, and use the
'RAISE' form to supply your own error message. Here's an example:
CREATE TRIGGER authors_books_insert BEFORE INSERT ON books
FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
SELECT RAISE(ROLLBACK, 'Attempt to add a book with an author
number which is not valid.')
WHERE (SELECT id FROM authors WHERE id = new.author) IS NULL;
END
You get back exactly the error message you put in.
