Unload Database

Hi all, 
I'd like to "unload" Database because I don't need it and, most of all, I don't want to use a local db just to avoid the "db connection error" at the bootstrap. 
I'm using CodeIgniter 4.

Many thanks,
Maui

Where did you load database?

Where did you load database?

it's hard to say because in CI3 I used to load libraries in the autoload.php file: 

Code:

$autoload['libraries'] = array('database', 'session', 'email');

But in CI4 (which I'm using now for the first time) the autoload.php file is slightly different and only contains the following lines (I cut the comments out):

Code:

<?php
namespace Config;
use CodeIgniter\Config\AutoloadConfig;

class Autoload extends AutoloadConfig
{
    public $psr4 = [
        APP_NAMESPACE => APPPATH, [i]// For custom app namespace[/i]
        'Config'      => APPPATH . 'Config',
    ];
    public $classmap = [];
}

I don't know exactly where the database is loaded (but it is, because everything works fine if I define an access in the .env file or in the /app/Config/Database.php)

@maui82,

Try setting an incorrect password and see if errors or warnings appear.

The connection to the database is made on the first request to the database.
Don't want to connect? Do not make inquiries into it.

In CI3, autoloading meant pre-linking libraries. In order not to be distracted by initialization while the application is running.

This helped me solving the problem: the database was loaded in a model.
I removed all the queries and now I don't get any connection error if the db is not reachable.
Thank you very muchs!
