php - how to check for wordpress Query errors

In mysql or mysqli you can add this type of Query:

<?php

    $sql = mysqli_query($con, Insert into database itt (name) VALUES ($name)") or die(mysqli_error($con));

?>

What does wordpress do for this?

Or how does the code look?

Does it look like the code above?

• You might want to try a debugging plugin wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=debug+database&sort= – iyrin Commented Dec 8, 2014 at 3:26
• The Query Monitor plugin looks like the one you are seeking wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor – iyrin Commented Dec 8, 2014 at 3:31

A good pointer would be to enable debugging in WordPress. Add this to your wp-config.php: define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );.

By default WordPress does not show much debug information. More on this here.

You can install this plugin, Debug Bar, it is not only query, you can also debug more information.
