With the basics of our database adapter working, we turn to the real work: error handling. We look at problems such as missing database rows, invalid data types, and incorrect serialization. This prompts lots of conversations about design, including an interesting solution to the tradeoff of unchecked vs. checked exceptions in Java. By the end of the stream, we’ve taken care of all our edge cases.
