You could eval{} your db connection call, and then use prerun_mode
to adjust what's displayed if it fails.

If your application is large, the prerun mode could be declared
in a super class, so it's available everywhere. In fact, the
prerun_mode you set could the same as your error mode.

Happy holidays.
