On the other hand, it could be useful if the raised exceptions
followed some kind of standard. After all, it's not the vendor
specific code that throws Python exceptions, it's the Python
database drivers. If there was a standard for these exceptions,
it would be easier to write generic DB-API programs. IIRC, this
has been discussed on this list...
