Abstract

Exceptions in database systems can be used for two different purposes: to store data not conforming to the description provided by the database schema, that is, exceptional data; and to handle exceptional situations during processing, that is, the usual execution exceptions of programming languages. In this paper we survey approaches to both kinds of exceptions in OODBMSs, we discuss some uses of exceptions peculiar to databases, and relate exceptions with triggers, a typical database functionality.
