Comment:

 > Could you please make the table selection query filterable? There is no
 information_scheme table in sqlite. So the hard coded MySQL based query
 would break WP on any db where the information_scheme table does not exist
 for whatever reasons.

 This is an excellent point, and a filter does seem appropriate.

 WordPress core already uses `information_schema` in
 `WP_Site_Health::should_suggest_persistent_object_cache()`. The query
 there isn't filterable, but the method can be short-circuited via the
 `site_status_should_suggest_persistent_object_cache` filter.
