Error handling is crucial to MySQL programming, allowing developers to catch and manage exceptions, warnings, and unexpected conditions during query execution. Database operations can fail unpredictably without proper error handling, leading to data corruption or incomplete transactions. This quiz will test your understanding of MySQL error handling mechanisms, including handlers, SQLSTATE codes, the SIGNAL statement, and best practices for managing errors in stored procedures.
