Exception vs exception

Hi All Recently I'm came across following code snippet regarding exceptions there I'm executing invalid query and catch the exception as follows. First Approach ------------------------------------------- try{ $result = mysql_query('SELECT * from unknowntable'); }catch(exception $e){ echo $e->getTrace(); } ------------------------------------------- Second Approach ------------------------------------------- try{ $result = mysql_query('SELECT * from unknowntable'); if (!$result) { throw new MySQLException('Query failed to execute') } }cathc(MySQLException $e){ echo $e->getMessage(); }cathc(Exception $e){ echo $e->getMessage(); } ------------------------------------------- Which one is the best approach and efficient and what the recommended approach.
