Followup: #40110 and #40108
This initializer should be best effort. If for some reason the database in unhealthy, it is better to move forward with the boot process than to crash.
Ideally if the schema cache dump was loaded, we should be able to define the attribute methods without having to connect to the database, however
define_attribute_methods
call various methods that access the schema cache throughBase.connection
which does immediately connect to the database. I'd like to refactor that, but it's much more work. So short term handling errors is the best we can do.cc @rafaelfranca @Edouard-chin
