`psycopg2.errorcodes` -- Error codes defined by PostgreSQL

This module contains symbolic names for all PostgreSQL error codes and error
classes codes. Subclasses of `~psycopg2.Error` make the PostgreSQL error
code available in the `~psycopg2.Error.pgcode` attribute.
From PostgreSQL documentation:
All messages emitted by the PostgreSQL server are assigned five-character
error codes that follow the SQL standard's conventions for :sql:`SQLSTATE`
codes. Applications that need to know which error condition has occurred
should usually test the error code, rather than looking at the textual
error message. The error codes are less likely to change across
PostgreSQL releases, and also are not subject to change due to
localization of error messages. Note that some, but not all, of the error
codes produced by PostgreSQL are defined by the SQL standard; some
additional error codes for conditions not defined by the standard have
been invented or borrowed from other databases.
According to the standard, the first two characters of an error code
denote a class of errors, while the last three characters indicate a
specific condition within that class. Thus, an application that does not
recognize the specific error code can still be able to infer what to do
from the error class.

An example of the available constants defined in the module:
>>> errorcodes.CLASS_SYNTAX_ERROR_OR_ACCESS_RULE_VIOLATION
'42'
>>> errorcodes.UNDEFINED_TABLE
'42P01'
Constants representing all the error values defined by PostgreSQL versions
between 8.1 and 12 are included in the module.
