[wp-hackers] How to use $wpdb in plugins

[Nikola Nikolov]

I still think that adding

global $wpdb;

is probably the best approach. If you really don't want to copy/paste a
single line of code, you can just use $GLOBALS['wpdb'] - same thing, just a
bit less readable(and you won't be able to use the nifty features of things
like code intel).

Anyway - whichever way you choose it usually won't be a big deal if you
decide to change your implementation in the future - you'd have to do just
a couple of search/replace's.
