Class names are case insensitive, so "Exception" is the same as "exception". Now, about the first approach: Does the mysql extension throw exceptions??? (maybe you just didn't write the throw statement, I presume). About the second approach: What is "catchc"? (I guess it's just a typo). And, what other exceptions are you expecting to be thrown out of the try block to use the second *generic* catch? If you and only you are throwing the custom * MySQLException* exception (which you should code and throw under the proper conditions) why do you need a generic *Exception* catch block?
