Wow... is that supported? Because if you support that, you technically have to
make the program robust against every possible database issue, including
missing tables, wrong tables, missing data, wrong data ... the list is endless.
You would have to treat the database as a foreign entity. IMO, properly
supporting an "alien" database like this is intractable in almost any software
project.

Anyway, I agree that errors should be handled properly everywhere, whether it's
painful or not. Some programming languages are just more painful to use than
others...
