I have this piece of code for my custom db resource, extending the zend db
resource:
> $db = parent::init();
> try {
> $this->_connection = $db->getConnection();
> } catch (Exception $e) {
> $this->getBootstrap()->bootstrap('log');
> Zend_Registry::get('log')->crit('Database connection not responding');
> }
> return $db;
Now you're using the zend db resource functionality and test for a valid db
connection. The log (already registered in the registry) is used to generate
some output.
