connecting to a database through a script...if not give an error msg

Hello ,
i have a problem in writing the shell script..
i have a script already written n just need to make a change in which when the script is not able to connect to the database ..it should print an error msg on the screen.

I have already seen previous posts on how to connect to the database ..but i didnt find any in which it prints out an error msg when not connected to the database... I am posting my script below.

I have tried it this way ..but it doesnt seem to work.. Somewhere i guess it is been written in a wrong way.

if[!$STOCK/sqlplus VKS#1/#vokus02@$VOKUS @range.sql]
print "Cannot connect to the Database";


thank u in advance

NAME
installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
installsieve DESCRIPTION
installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server. OPTIONS
-v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output. -l List all of the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active script. -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services. -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten. Upon sucessfully putting the script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since sieve names may not contain a '.'. -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option.. -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>. -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen. -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already exists it is overwritten. -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user. CMU
