You can write an exception term directly to a varchar-type column in
the database. Note that it will be rendered as text using ~
p,
and truncated if necessary - so you certainly can't read it out again
and expect to get an exception! Example code:
catch(process_message(Message), Exception, {[], update(some_table, [status-'ERROR', status_comment-Exception]), @ :: [some_table_primary_key-PrimaryKey]}).
