Umm, the SQLException documentation is quite clear the 'getErrorCode()'
returns only vendor-specific codes and that 'getSQLState()' returns the SQL
state value.  Since the latter is standard and the former is not, that already
"goes a long way [to] hinting ... that" PG provides SQL Standard codes.
Nothing further is needed.

It seems fair that there is a presumption of knowledge of the standard.
