It typically only gets unwrapped if it has been thrown inside a stored
procedure (only exceptions generated by
PublicAPI.wrapStandardException() are marked as "simple wrappers").
What it attempts to solve is the problem of passing exceptions through
multiple layers. Inside the language layer and store, exceptions have
to be passed as StandardExceptions, whereas in the JDBC layer they
have to be passed as SQLExceptions.
In the common case, an exception is generated inside the engine as a
StandardException, and it gets wrapped in an SQLException on its way
out through the JDBC layer. But in the case of stored procedures, the
JDBC layer is reentered from the language layer. The exceptions that
happen inside the stored procedure are returned to the language layer
as SQLExceptions, but have to be transported as StandardExceptions
through the language layer up to the outer JDBC layer. This could be
done by wrapping the SQLException in a StandardException, but then the
end result would be an SQLException wrapping a StandardException
wrapping an SQLException wrapping a StandardException. By just passing
the underlying StandardException, we save two layers of indirection.
