Catch MYSQL errors

rubyonrails-talk
1

Hello, How does one go about catching db errors, such as:

Mysql::Error in BlogController#index Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

I'd rather render the error in my own layout (I do have one named application)

Look at the specific exception that is being thrown and then deal with it in a begin/rescue/end block...
