Re: Sybase.DatabaseError when execute "dump database" commmand use Sybase.connect().cursor().execute()

The Sybase libraries (the C-level ones, not the python ones) use "errors" to
communicate all kinds of things (like database names after "use database").
Catch the exception and check for message 3216.  Since it's a known message,
you can ignore it.

P.S.  Of course, you'll need to be sure that you won't need to signal a
volume change during the backup, becase you need the information in the
message to be able to do that properly.
