why do you do it then? (i.e. send yourself one email for every database error) you know you'll get database errors on account of too many connections, esp at "peak seasons" -- around year 11 exams, half-yearlies, trials, leading up to and during the HSC, and UAI time -- if there was some way of just getting one email saying
"hello mark. today there were 9 squillion database errors."
that'd probably ease the pain (and stop clogging yr inbox, leaving room for all those nigerian scam letters and herbal viagra offers and porn websites and mortgage reduction plans)
