This problem probably cannot be entirely avoided; even if the mechanics of database interaction are hidden in db_*, some manipulation of abstractions - which correspond to underlying database handle and query states, etc. - by modules that use db_* is probably required, just like with any API. And just like any caller of an API, it is possible for the calling module to misbehave on exceptional conditions returned by the lower-level DB module. I would agree, however, that db_* should probably provide enough containment and error handling to prevent all but the most egregious database-related fatal runtime errors.
