    Is it possible to have the page redirected to a landing page when the database connection is broken? This would be more presentable, rather than the default WordPress database error page. Any idea if this could be done? Cheers!

    sure.. its already done actually

    take a look at wp-includes/functions.php

    the last function, dead_db

    you can see what its doing right there. Notice the file it looks for??

    theres your landing page 🙂

    I can’t find any mention of this wonderful function anywere: not on the web, not in my Worpress installations, nowhere.
    Could you please be a little more explicit?

    Maxormark,

    What is more explicit than saying the file name?

    wp-includes/functions.php

    and saying its the last function.

    Maybe you are not looking in the right version — I typically provide answers using the most recent version as a starting point.

    Create a custom page named db-error.php in /wp-content/.
