Are you asking what to do if your Web server doesn't connect to the SQL Server? Your question is a little unclear...<

write "The SQL server is unreachable at this time" write the footer and exit is typically what I do or I write "" as the only thing to the page so I know where the error is.<

All things being equal, its best to code so that it crashes responsibly. (yes, there is a right and a wrong way to crash)

I've started programming my apps with a quick connection check. If it fails the check it redirects to a page that explains that the problem is ours, not the users, etc. and apologizes for the downtime. In the background it logs some information for me so I can do a little analysis later. I'm working on expanding that code so I can crash more responsibly my self.
