Exceptable¶

Exceptable is a Python + PL/PGSQL library specifically built to handle propagation of exceptions from PostgreSQL and stored procedures in a more consistent fashion.
By utilizing a standardized exception text format, standard ProgrammingErrors as raised by the Python DB-API can be caught, analyzed, and re-raised as exceptions that are more useful in the application layer.

Definable Exceptions¶

By providing a simple, configurable decorator for wrapping DB functionality, Exceptable allows for customizable exception APIs to be created simply and efficiently.
