Why you should care
In PLSQL, an exception is a warning or a type of error condition. They can internally defined (by the run-time system) or user defined. An illegal exception occurs when a standard exception is declared by the user because such expressions are declared by PLSQL. Having illegal expressions in the code can decrease code reliability which can cause the code to be prone to errors.Business Impacts
Illegal exceptions are highly risky to the code as they are considered to be a warning that needs to be addressed quickly. They cause the code to be greatly unproductive.
