Description

We probe if database can be opened with SQL in createClient() implementations, but it means that with remote databases, we add extra latency. This is problematic in particular if client is short-lived.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the createClient implementations to identify where the database probe occurs, evaluate its necessity, and remove it while preserving correct behavior. Ensure that the client still establishes a connection correctly without the probe.
