New wpdb instance

[Dino Termini]

Hi list,

I need to connect to a different database to retrieve some data. So I'm
instantiating a new $wpdb object:

$new_wpdb = new wpdb( params );

It happens sometimes that I enter the wrong credentials, and if WP_DEBUG
is true, this renders the WP admin totally inaccessible and I need to
rename my plugin's folder to get it back:

https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-includes/wp-db.php#L581

How can I check that the credentials I have are legit without blowing up
the admin?

Thanks,
Dino.

I think real problem you have with wpdb->bail() which has wp_die() inside.

Anyway, whenever where problem is exactly, you can always extend wpdb class
to your my_wpdb() class (name it better) and overwrite some methods. Then
call new my_wpdb( params ) and all will be good
