## Description

Text of the error message returned from the database. Error codes and error messages are different for each database.

## Notes

You should check the Error property after each database operation to see if there was an error. If there is an error, you can display or log the ErrorCode and <span class="title-ref">ErrorMessage</span>.

## Sample code

This code attempts to create an in-memory SQLite database and displays the error if one occurred:

``` xojo
Dim db As New SQLiteDatabase
If db.Connect Then
  ' Connected to in-memory database
Else
  If db.Error Then
    MsgBox("Error: " + Str(db.ErrorCode) + " - " + db.ErrorMessage)
  End If
End If
```

## Compatibility

All project types on all supported operating systems.
