hi,

while executing query, If oracle shutdown or aborted then can we get the sqlcode for that type of situations. by seeing sqlcode i should know "oracle killed or went down". OR Any other way to predict this?

Yes you get a return code indicating something went wrong.
It may be different depending on your client version (actually this is the client part that gives you the code) and when (in which part of Oracle code) the deconnection is detected.
Often it is "Not connected".

yes ofcourse we can get the code. My opinion is " Is there any specific code for that"

For Ex:
If sqlcode == [some]
printf(" Oracle not available");

As I said, there is no specific code but many depending on which part of the code the error is detected.
Most often it is "ORA-03114: "not connected to ORACLE"" but not always. You can have "ORA-12153: "TNS:not connected"" or others.

What is query wrong implementation?
- syntax error
- no data found
- single-row subquery returns more than one row
maybe few others, the rest are system errors.

Are you serious in wanting to code explicit messages for the case that the database goes down unexpectedly?
What kind of application would need that?
