Re: [Zope] Checking the state of a database connection

27 Jan 2000


      I have run into this problem also so this is what we do (sorry for not
elaborating in my first post, wanted to keep it simple):

<dtml-if "Database.connected()">
	<dtml-try>
		<dtml-call DbTestMethod>
			OK
		<dtml-except>
			Database Connection or Oracle is down
	</dtml-try>
<dtml-else>
	Database Connection or Oracle is down
</dtml-if>


sql in DbTestMethod:


select SYSDATE
from DUAL
