[Zope-DB] Catching and using DCOracle2 exceptions in a Script (Python)

[Anton Hughes]

Hi All,

I'm trying to catch and handle an exception when using a ZSQL method to
insert/update/delete data in an Oracle 9i database via a DCOracle2
connection. The following script is a trimmed down version of what I'm
doing:

##### start script #####
request = container.REQUEST

try:
  context.zsql_method( request )
  message = "Method has been invoked"
except StandardError, e:
  message = str(e)

return context.actionResult( message = message, referer =
request.HTTP_REFERER )
##### end script #####

However, what I'd really like to do is to determine whether I have an Oracle
error and return the error number, etc to the user. If I replace
StandardError in the script above with DCOracle2.Database error then I get a
message saying I'm not authorized to use DCOracle2 in this context.


Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Anton Hughes
