Add wp db status command for quick database health overview #306
Description
I would like to suggesta new WP-CLI command: wp db status
The command would provide a concise, read-only overview of the current WordPress database health and configuration in a single output, reducing the need to run multiple separate commands.
For support, debugging, and hosting diagnostics, it would be beneficial to have a single, non-destructive command that aggregates key database information into one quick report.
Currently, checking database status requires running several commands such as: wp db size, wp db tables, wp db prefix, wp db check, etc.
My Proposed Command:
wp db status
Output Example:
Database Name: wp_mehrazmorshed
Tables: 54
Total Size: 312 MB
Prefix: wp_
Engine: InnoDB
Charset: utf8mb4
Collation: utf8mb4_unicode_ci
Check Status: OK

There is a new package called site-health-command. (Included in the next WP CLI 2.13 release)
You can run
wp site-health info wp-database --privateResult:

Couldn't run in current setup.
I hope it will release soon.

It will be included in next "3.0.0" version.

Yeah you can already try it out in the nightly release.
One difference is that the site-health command involves loading WordPress, whereas the db commands usually also work when WordPress is not even installed yet.

Although database info is available from "site-health" command I am positive is adding specific db command which gives info without loading whole WordPress. It would be helpful in scripting.
