           Summary: What should transaction.error be set to if a error
                    handler throws an exception
           Product: WebAppsWG

The most basic question is, what should happen in the following scenario:

objectStore.add("value", 1); // succeeds
req = objectStore.add("value", 1); // will fail due to key collision
req.onerror = function(e) {
  throw;
}

This should obviously abort the transaction, but should transaction.error.name
return "ConstraintError" or "AbortError".

I don't have a strong opinion.

It sort of feels like the exception does override normal behavior, so we should
set it to "AbortError".
