Invalid database configuration results in fatal error

Created by Daniel, 26th Mar 2012. (originally Lighthouse ticket #33):

---

An invalid database configuration can sometimes result in a failure to connect to the SQLite database without an error. As no error is caught by CakePhP, PhP itself throws a fatal error on line 221 as no $connection object exists. This bug fix forces the _execute() function to check that the database is in fact connected - if not, CakePhP gracefully throws a helpful error message to the user.

To reproduce: set $config['connect'] to an invalid value.

I have submitted a bugfix here: https://github.com/stormsaber/datasources/commit/1b7ca41472a56e7f6b8a7150a1ef8fd17227b1a1

All the best,
