== Why is this an issue?

An ``++EXCEPTION WHEN ... THEN++`` clause that only rethrows the caught exception has the same effect as omitting the ``++EXCEPTION++`` clause altogether and letting it bubble up automatically. 

[source,sql]
----
BEGIN
  SELECT 1/0;
EXCEPTION
  WHEN ZERO_DIVIDE THEN
    RAISE; -- Noncompliant
  WHEN OTHERS THEN
    RAISE; -- Noncompliant
END; 
----

Such clauses should either be removed or populated with the appropriate logic.

[source,sql]
----
BEGIN
  SELECT 1/0;
EXCEPTION
  WHEN ZERO_DIVIDE THEN
    -- do something to manage the division by zero
    COMMIT;

  WHEN OTHERS THEN
    ROLLBACK;
END;
