 * Hi,
 * I am having this issue today. When I click a link on my website , sometime I 
   receive a Error establishing a database connection but if I refresh the page 
   it shows the link correctly. What can be the possible reason for it as it is 
   quite frustrating.
 * Thanks in advance,
 * Adnan

 * An occasional error is likely the result of server issues. Please contact your
   host.
