There are a couple of ways to do this:

1. Write a custom action that connects to the database and runs a basic
SELECT query. Schedule the CA before LaunchConditions or when the Test
button is clicked.

2. Use SqlDatabase and SqlString elements to connect to the database and run
a basic SELECT query. Of course the check will occur when the component is
being installed.

Hope this helps.
