What's happening is some database modules are not good Python citizens.  
By this, I mean that they raise exceptions that don't inherit from 
Python's Exception class.  web2py only catches Exceptions.  In the event 
of an non-Exception exception web2py's behavior is undefined.  I built a 
wrapper class for my db2 network access and as part of my wrapper, I 
caught the special exceptions and raised more web2py friendly Exceptions.

The alternative is for web2py to catch all possible exceptions.  
Massimo, how would you want to handle that?
