[webkit-dev] Custom exception messages for IDL defined methods that raise DOMException.

[Michael Nordman]

I guess the exception of interest is  SQLException.

Take a look at Database.cpp line 103. The ' errorMessage' string on that
line contains more detailed information about what went wrong in the act of
opening the database, including things like an sqlite error code and sqlite
error message. These strings are formed in the bowls of
AbstractDatabase::performOpenAndVerify().
