 Install Step 2: fails with message
 "WordPress database error Unknown column 'wp_' in 'field list' for query
 SELECT wp_"

 MYSQL -> SELECT VERSION();
 RESPONSE -> '5.6.38-83.0-log'

 Bug:
 Setup-Config at L310
 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-admin/setup-
 config.php#L310

 Running the query:
 $wpdb->query( "SELECT $prefix" );

 MYSQL -> SELECT wp_
 RESPONSE -> Error Code: 1054. Unknown column 'wp_' in 'field list'


 Observations, query fails regardless if prefix exists or not, tested on a
 working database, same query fails with same message
