Synopsis

Win32::ODBC->Error(  )

Returns the last encountered error. The returned value is context-dependent.

If called in a scalar context, then a three-element array is returned:

( error_number, error_text, connection_number )

If called in a string context, then a string is returned:

"[error_number] [connection_number] [error_text]"

If debugging is on, then two more variables are returned:

( ..., function, level )

function is the name of the function in which the error occurred, and levelrepresents extra information about the error (usually the location of the error).
