Methods, systems, and media are disclosed for handling errors resulting in error messages while executing a script file such as a Sequential Query Language (SQL) script. Embodiments may include one or more databases such as databases interconnected via a network, which include or have the ability to create and/or execute script files with on-error statements. Script files with on-error statements may include an error identifier and a resolution identifier. Each error identifier may identify one or more errors associated with the resolution identifier and the resolution identifier may identify a way to handle the error. Resolution identifiers may provide one or more error-recovery statements, calls for execution of a stored procedure, or other functions to correct, log, or ignore errors and continue or terminate execution of script files. Many embodiments include a command line processor that can recognize and implement the on-error statements.
