Error messages too generic

Hi there,

When executing a query which results in a database error (e.g. if there is something wrong with the syntax of the query), the odbc package does throw an exception as expected. The exception does contain a very generic error message however.

Example:

const statement = await connection.createStatement();
await statement.prepare("select * from nonexistingtable");
await statement.execute();

I expect the abovementioned code to throw this error message: Invalid object name 'nonexistingtable'.

Yet, node-odbc throws this error message [odbc] Error executing the statement

Is there any way to retrieve the error which caused the exception thrown by node-odbc?

Yep, this was an error with Promises calling new Error(), which was deleting all of the ODBC error information. Fixed in this PR, available on 2.3.0 beta branch (coming to a release branch soon!)

@markdirish Hey, what do you think about this? Is it a fix?
