catch error connection

[cumap]

hi all,

I'm looking for a way to catch MySQL db connection error before Godaddy throws me a error page that return no helpful error info at all.

What the error particular is that I'd like to check whether a database is currently available on the server of not and return a error message or move on with the connection.

Also, I wonder whether checking existing tables is using the same method or not.

Thank you for any help.

Are you sure you ask in the right forum?

You are totally right. I actually do want to ask about mysql but can't locate the forum in here so I thought this MS SQL is closed enough, am I way off?

I'm writing the script within ASP environment, but I doubt that the people in that forum would appreciate the question any better. Please point me to the right forum. Thank you!

Sounds to me like you may be better off using the ASP.net forum here:
