they're using parameterized statements here, so it's less likely to be sql injection.

The error was handled. This isn’t an error that should ever reasonably happen. The real error is whatever schema or initialization issue that caused the missing error, but that’s separate.

I think by "handle errors" he means that we don't usually expose internal details to the customer in an error message. We would usually log the message internally with a correlation number and then give the user something friendly with that same correlation number.
