How can I handle database errors in Django?

In Django, you can handle database errors using try-except blocks. You can catch specific exceptions like IntegrityError or DatabaseError.

Can you give me an example of using try-except for a database operation?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from django.db import IntegrityError

try:
    # Your database operation here
    MyModel.objects.create(field='value')
except IntegrityError:
    print('Database error occurred!')

What other exceptions should I be aware of?

You should also be aware of OperationalError, DataError, and ProgrammingError. Each of these can indicate different issues with your database operations.

How can I log these errors for later review?

You can use Django's logging framework. Set up logging in your settings.py and log exceptions in your except block using logger.error().
