just to add to this post... here is a database.e "function" only handler that i
use alot...

include database.e
------------------

global
procedure dbase(sequence s, object x, integer c)

    x = call_func(routine_id(s),x)

    if x != DB_OK and x != c                     -- continue
    then
        clear_screen()
        puts (1,"\ndbase() -> A fatal database failure...\n")
        -- Todo: display s & x
        abort(x)
    end if

end procedure

* execution continues if the return error is DB_OK or the
  allowed condition, else a fatal error is reported...

-- example:

    -- select a table from the database, execution will countinue if
    -- DB_OK or DB_OPEN_FAIL    

    dbase("db_select_table",{"my_table"},DB_OPEN_FAIL)

    -- create a table in the database, execution will continue if
    -- DB_OK or DB_EXISTS_ALREADY

    dbase("db_create_table",{"my_table"},DB_EXISTS_ALREADY)
