Agreed. In fact, I put all database operations inside a try/catch structure so as not to assault the end user with error dialogs that they don't know what to do with. If you are making a TON of calls in your app, you may want to consider writing a special database error function which knows how to handle all the errors you want in a way that the end user (and your app) can work with. 

For instance, a "Database temporarily unavailable. Try again?" dialog that gives the user a chance to call IT and have them get the DB back online without dumping your app mid transaction.
