Add an email or SMS page alert for DB errors

Inspired by http://drupal.org/node/178523#comment-657353 this request is to alert the admin when his production system is having issues with the DB. The idea will be to add a field in the settings.php file to send email or SMS paging alerts for errors while connecting to or operating with the DB. Then when critical DB errors happen the admin can take immediate action. These alerts will only happen if PHP's display_errors is Off; assuming that production systems do not have display_errors on.

    Thank you for sharing your idea for improving Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this proposal meets the Criteria for evaluating proposed changes. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or there is no community support. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
