false.
The
sql_selectdb() function has 3 parameters:
-#
$nom being the name of the database to use,

This function is used by SPIP during the installation routine to try to pre-select the name of the database to be used, by means of attempting to select a database with the same name as the login.
$test_base = $login_db;
$ok = sql_selectdb($test_base, $server_db);
