cfml

i am using Application.cfm and please do not ask to update, because not in my hands :slightly_smiling_face: so how can i have a maintenance page which checks if there is an outrage depending on sql connection,

Which part of that do you not know how to do? Create a webpage? Check a DB connection?

As per usual, showing some code so we have some idea of what you've got so far and pointing out where you are stuck would be _helpful_.

&lt;cftry&gt;&lt;cfset showPage = true&gt;&lt;cfquery name="DBUP" datasource="datasource"&gt; SELECT ID FROM dbo.Entry &lt;/cfquery&gt;&lt;cfcatch type="database"&gt;&lt;!--- The error code 0 is mentioned Datasource could not be found/exits. ---&gt;&lt;cfif cfcatch.cause.errorcode eq 0 &gt;&lt;cfset showPage = false &gt;&lt;!--- Data source does not exists ---&gt;&lt;/cfif&gt;&lt;/cfcatch&gt;&lt;/cftry&gt;
cannot try yet because the sql server instanc3e is not ready but seems that might work

Let us know how you go once you can test it and work out what you might / might not need to do next...
