Description Jeremy Orlow 2010-11-22 12:43:09 UTC 
The error codes specced in IDBDatabaseException's interface need to be redone.  They currently overlap with existing exception error codes and use 0 which we've avoided using in the past [0].  In addition, the codes are non-contiguous which also seems to be non-standard.  We should re-map the exception numbers into something contiguous that doesn't overlap with other exception codes.


[0] I'm not sure if 0 is actually specced to be reserved, but in practice it seems to be.  And WebKit uses 0 internally to signal "no exception".

This was somewhat done at some point.  And any further cleanup should probably wait until exception/error stuff upstream in WebIDL is settled.
