   Is there a way to change this message to say something else.

   Would be nice to add that the site will be back in a few mins or something.

   " Error establishing a database connection. This website will be back in a few minutes."

   Somewhere there is a plugin for maintenance mode, if i can remember.

   May be it isn't what you want exactly, but... i guess you can not change php error messages so easy.

   create the file, this functionality is already available.

   // Load custom DB error template, if present.
   	if ( file_exists( WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/db-error.php' ) ) {
   		require_once( WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/db-error.php' );
   		die();
   	}

   wp-content/db-error.php <---- assuming you havent changed your content dir.

   where is this functionality code placed? I mean in which php file?
   I'm asking because it doesn't work for me even though I placed a file db-error.php in the wp-content directory
