No kidding. My last job a deveoper asked me to help
trace Oracle errors on his project's MS web
application. It was based on many, many tables which
all had auto-generated triggers. Every trigger had
that exception block. 

I suggested to change every trigger to raise (instead
of trap) errors. Of course, they didn't do it. I
smiled and went back to working on my projects. 

Fired? At the time, the programmer was a contractor,
and just got hired back as a permanent employee at the
same company. 

NC. Love it. ;-)

Regards,

Mike Thomas
