What's the best way to test that the database is available?

[ultrablue]

Hi:

What's a good way to test whether the database is available? For example, suppose that the network between the webserver and the database server is down or the database is otherwise unavailable; is there a way to test for that?

Thanks, Greg

Not sure but maybe try by adding an exception handler that captures an Oci8Exception with some conditions that filters a connection error?
