+    DatabaseError: Type[Exception]
+
+    # Everything below is a subclass of `DatabaseError`.
+
+    # Roughly: the database rejected a nonsensical value. Examples:
+    # - An integer was too big for its data type.
+    # - An invalid date time was provided.
+    # - A string contained a null code point.
+    DataError: Type[Exception]
+
+    # Roughly: something went wrong in the database, but it's not within the application
+    # programmer's control. Examples:
+    # - We failed to establish a connection to the database.
+    # - The connection to the database was lost.
+    # - A deadlock was detected.
+    # - A serialisation failure occurred.
+    # - The database ran out of resources, such as storage, memory, connections, etc.
+    # - The database encountered an error from the operating system.
+    OperationalError: Type[Exception]
+
+    # Roughly: we've given the database data which breaks a rule we asked it to enforce.
+    # Examples:
+    # - Stop, criminal scum! You violated the foreign key constraint
+    # - Also check constraints, non-null constraints, etc.
+    IntegrityError: Type[Exception]
+
+    # Roughly: something went wrong within the database server itself.
+    InternalError: Type[Exception]
+
+    # Roughly: the application did something silly that needs to be fixed. Examples:
+    # - We don't have permissions to do something.
+    # - We tried to create a table with duplicate column names.
+    # - We tried to use a reserved name.
+    # - We referred to a column that doesn't exist.
+    ProgrammingError: Type[Exception]
+
+    # Roughly: we've tried to do something that this database doesn't support.
+    NotSupportedError: Type[Exception]
