How would I check if a connection is possible? I want the user to choose a database file, and I want to give feedback before trying any transactions. I’m afraid to do too many Database.connect() as per this note in the wiki:

Note: Starting Exposed 0.10 executing this code more than once per db will create leaks in your application, hence it is recommended to store it for later use.

Below is an example of what I’m trying, and I’d like to let the user know if there is something wrong with the connection, kinda like how DataGrip has the “Test Connection” button
