Hrmmm...one thing to note with any of this is that by 'hardcoding'
in the errormsg itself, it makes it difficult to 'internationalize' a
program...in that I can't run a single server on my machine that can
easily deal with a 'French' customer vs an 'English' one, vs a 'Japanese'
one...I'd have to recompile for each.
Vadim's other point, about putting this in the front end vs the
backend, I think, is more appropriate, that way it is application specific
vs server...
