Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [comment:3 AKTed]:
 > I do have WP_DEBUG set to `true` (it's on my live testing/staging site).
 So, you're saying if it were `false`, it would show something different to
 end users?

 Yes. It would show "Error establishing a database connection", as in
 http://cl.ly/image/2j371N2R0v1p.

 `wpdb` class only shows detailed errors on front-end if `WP_DEBUG` is
 true: [[BR]]
