IMO the SQL Exception is the one case where a single line is almost never 
enough. I'd say its always necessary to work your way down the 
SQLException chain outputing the contents of all of them and, depending 
in the program's structure and logic, it is often a good idea to add the 
query's text as well[1].

Assuming, of course, that you're using traditional SQL statements rather 
than some JPA.
