Comment:

 Investigating this issue.

 Is it possible that the database server had crashed and not yet restarted
 when your user received the "Error Establishing a Database Connection"
 message then passed on to you?

 And is it possible that, by the time you or your colleague investigated,
 the server had already restarted, but that some table was damaged, either
 by the crash or at some other time?

 That would explain the database connnection problem. That message only
 gets generated (in core at any rate) by actual connection failures, not by
 query failures for damaged tables.

 Do you have any further information on what happened?
