 A few days ago, I received a new issue from the client regarding the
 "Error Establishing Database Connection." Upon investigation, I discovered
 that this error occurred due to an empty or corrupted wp_options table.
 After repairing the table, the site functioned normally.

 Given that the error message may mislead frontend developers into
 troubleshooting database connection issues unnecessarily, I recommend
 implementing a specific error message indicating that the connection is
 intact but the site is experiencing issues due to a corrupted or empty
 table. This will provide clearer guidance for troubleshooting.

 Please review this suggestion and let me know if you have any questions or
 concerns.

 Thank you!
