[TYPO3-dev] Fail-safe mechanism for database connectivityproblem

[Dan Frost]

Hi - this is exactly what the error handler / catching solution does.

The DB errors are always caught and, if "fatal" (can't connect to DB)
then you offer whatever solution you want - redirect to HTML file, send
yourself an email that the site is down etc etc
