Just to be clear, I usually don't advocate the swallowing of an
exception. I typically encourage the use of a wrapped exception, like this:

catch (SQLException sqle)
{
   throw new ApplicationSpecficException("Cannot query db", sqle);
}

Where the original exception is kept around, and even shows up in the
stack trace as the "root cause".
