This is exactly the point! I'd like to have a broader (comparing to DB
API 2.0) set of exceptions. Implementing them will have an additional
benefit - Ian Bicking being an active member of db-sig could point to the
implementation and use it as a base in the discussion of DB API 3.0.
Let us think of it. A client does:
1) connects to a backend;
2) authenticates itself;
3) authorizes to the desired database;
4) runs queries;
5) disconnects.
At any stage there is a chance of error:
1) cannot connect to the server (there is no server, firewall, etc.);
2) cannot authenticate (bad credentials);
3) cannot authorize (the client does not have rights for the database);
4) all kinds of exceptions - syntax error, duplicate error, etc.;
5) unexpected disconnect during query.

SQLObject tests are very simple - just scripts named "test_*.py" in the
directory "test" with a number of functions named "test*". Either the
function succeed of raise an exception, usually AssertionError. To test if
a call raises an exception there is function raises().
Look into the directory sqlobject/tests...
