Gallery of Stack Traces: OleDB Timeout
Here’s a simple entry into the Gallery of Stack Traces: a simple timeout that occurs when your Web server taps its foot and looks at its watch while the database isn’t showing up. Finally, the Web server (badly) leaves a note that says, impertinently, that it waited as long as it could and it had other things to do.
You should really handle that programmatically. Especially if your entire site hides within a Content Management System, and this little timeout makes it look like your site is irrevocably broken.
