Yep, I think that's the best way to deal with governor limits. Glad you liked it Luke! Yep, I think that’s the best way to deal with governor limits.

Since Apex is my first programming language, exception handling is conceptually new to me and I had not figured out how and when to take advantage of database methods versus DMLs. This will allow much greater sophistication in my code! Regarding Governor Limits, although there's no elegant way of recovery is possible, in one app I calculated how may DMLs and SOQL queries a given process would take and if it exceeded limits, halted execution, sending myself an email with the details so an alternate method could be arranged.

My advice - start doing it as soon as you start writing your code! It's not difficult nor time consuming, and allows for much neater and cleaner solutions. For some reason, I thought exceptions were something to do after you'd written your code to try and mop up awkward situations or errors, but in fact they're a useful tool to use throughout development. That's not just applicable to Salesforce either :) I’ve done some heavy duty coding for my current project, and during test there have been several points in my code where I wish I’d used exceptions, or points where I intended to put exceptions in but didn’t get round to it.

By using partial processing in DMLs, you don't actually throw exceptions, and you don't get automatic rollback, but you do get to continue on in the processing stack as long as your DML is well formed.

Was the partial processing piece able to help with troubles you were encountering we discussed in the developer meeting. I guess it would only help with DML errors but thats better than nothing I suppose. Very nice.
