How would one check whether the currently configured database exists?
I need to handle that exception in my app before any DB methods are called. Specifically, I'm trying to prevent the user from getting Fuel's 1049 exception:
Fuel\Core\Database_Exception [ 1049 ]: Unknown database 'foo'

Put something like this at a point where you are sure there's no queries ran earlier:

try
{
    \Database_Connection::instance()->connect(); // put your db connection name in instance($name) if you want a non-default connection group
}
catch (\Database_Exception $e)
{
    // do something when connecting failed
}

Thanks again, Jelmer. Fuel's support is top-notch
