ORA-00001: unique constraint (METALINK.SYS_C005417) violated
This is a partial screenshot of an application without a decent error handling.
Do you recognize it?
It goes without saying that no further comments are needed…

Forget the application, they should be giving their unique constraints some sort of reasonable name.

Hi Gary
I fully agree with you about the name of unique constraints. But, IMHO, the name of the constraints is much less important than the error handling…
Cheers,

Grin … maybe they are having trouble FINDING the code produing the error – if the developers are not allowed access
to prodcution environment definitions, it can be rather tedious to find a constraint with quite another
name in test & dev environments. I HATE unnamed constraints …..
