how to rescue specific exceptions in rails

I am executing a sql function and capturing standard error. is it the right way? if not how can i catch specific exception?

    query = ActionController::Base.helpers.sanitize(sql)
    begin
      result = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.exec_query(query)

    rescue StandardError => e
      raise Programmability::FatalError.new(nil, e.inspect)
    end

You're catching a semi-specific exception. To catch a specific exception change StandardError to the error you're interested in.

You have all the information you need in e, so if you want to know more, Rails.logger.debug(e.class) will add information to log/development.log so you can tune your rescue.
