That’s a dumb way of doing it. Most of the errors from an SQL call
indicate program bugs. The only exception I have come across is
IntegrityError, when used to indicate an attempt to add a record with a
duplicate value for a key that must be unique. That can sometimes be
usefully caught and reported back to the user as an error with the data
that they are trying to enter.
