Change Data Capture error codes

If a Change Data Capture function encounters a problem, it returns an error code. Most functions return 0 if they succeed.

Error numbers are not guaranteed to remain the same in subsequent releases. Always use the symbolic names in your application code. You can view the error message text corresponding to a symbolic error name by using the cdc_errortext() function.
