 * I’m receiving this as the output of our cron scripts:
 * <div id=”error”><p class=”wpdberror”>**WordPress database error:** [Column 'method'
   cannot be null]<br />`INSERT INTO ``prefix_nppp` (`type`, `ajax`, `url`, `method`,`
   loggedIn`, `user`, `referer`, `userAgent`, `duration`, `RAM`, `queries`, `timeToFirstByte`,`
   DOMContentLoaded`, `load`, `requests`) VALUES ('cron', '', '', NULL, '', NULL,
   NULL, NULL, '12552', '42', '134', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL)</p></div>
 * The plugin should check that method is in the appropriate format (including not
   null) and handle the situation more gracefully.
