Is there a MIB object that would indicate whether the database is up or down?

If there's a MIB object that indicates the health of a subsystem,
then you could use the DisMan Monitoring MIB to keep a watch on
this object, and issue a trap when the value changes (or takes on a
given value).

See the section ACTIVE MONITORING in the snmpd.conf(5) man page
for more details.
