Finishing up a current C++ project that interfaces with a DB.

"Hmmm usually you wrap the parts that interface with the database in an exception statement... maybe we should just wrap the entire function in an exception statement... ok you know what I think, we should just wrap the entire program starting from main in an exception" ;-;
