[dbapi] Stop shadowing exceptions in get_repository() (closes #2710515)
Exceptions are already handled higher up in the stack so there's no
reason to handle them here. Furthermore, non-ConnectionError exceptions
would get hidden, making debugging harder.
Schema of the data
------------------
First take a look at the data schema_ then try to remember that you are browsing
through a heap of data by applying stylesheets to the results of queries. This
site is not a content management system with items placed in folders. It is an
interface to a database which applies a view to retreived data.
