Exactly. My problem is not the unchecked exception. In fact I believe thats
the way to go. Unchecked exceptions for everything that is not recoverable.
My only problem is if my apps crashes due to an unexpected exception
I would like to know where it happened. Otherwise I am not better of with 
a checked exception, which I log first - instead of the framework - and then 
throw the runtime exception. That was we way we used to code with iBatis2 or 
plain jdbc.

Nathan is right. There are usually only a small percent of statements that
need checking and even for these workarounds exists. In case of an unique
constraints first check if the attribute already exists then insert, for 
example.

However having try-catch blocks around all my expected unexpected exceptions
doesn't ease the feeling that I might have forgotten one. Or think of a DB 
schema change later one. The one insert statement that used to work doesn't 
work anymore and I have no idea why. 

What about of having a log a tag within the environment tag? iBatis is already 
independed of logging frameworks so why not make more use of it?
I would like to have a <log level="debug" /> in my developing environment
and <log level="warning" /> in my production code. Is this a good idea?
I would give it a try if you don't mind.

Yeah, absolutely.  I just realized that reading back the thread, that might not 
have been clear... 

Nathan's advice is where you should start:  Let the exception bubble up and 
only catch the ones you can actually do something with.

There are times when you have an expected exception case.  Now I know
that statement contradicts itself but move on :)

I have seen DB check constraints that throw unique exceptions.  That
being said you should know that the table/proc/function might throw
these and you need to recover from them.

Moral of the story is catch them if you expect them otherwise let them roll.
