Subject: Should export ER_* error constants
Having access to the ER_* constants from mysqld_error.h would be useful for comparing against $handle->err instead of having to use the numbers directly or matching against $handle->errstr.

The only issue with this is that one would have to have server headers in a perl client driver codebase and in many cases the driver is installed on a server with no server install

I dodn't know about other OSes, but on Debian/Ubuntu mysqld_error.h is included in the libmysqlclient-dev package, which is needed to build DBD::mysql anyway. It'd be simple to extract the constant names and values at build time, so the header isn't required at runtime. -- "I use RMS as a guide in the same way that a boat captain would use a lighthouse.
