Handling errors
The DBUtil actions require a user-defined handleError action that takes a single string parameter. The handleError action handles errors that could occur during execution of a DBUtil event action call.
The following EPL code snippet shows a simple error handler.

//...
com.apama.database.DBUtil db;
//...
action onload {
db.openQuickODBC("exampledb","thomas","thomas123", handleError);
//...
}

action handleError( string reason ) {
log "DB Error: " + reason;
}
