This error can mean any number of things. It can indicate that, indeed, some
network error has prevented the Connection. It can mean that the database
has run out of room on the disk.It can mean any number of catastrophic
things that don't fall into the category of "bugs" in other words, such as
the database being stopped, or deleted, or something along those lines. In
other words, it is not a bug in your code, or in the database, but some
external force that has stopped the database from responding.
