Re: "No results were returned by the query" exception

Actually, this only occurs when there is an error in the query. If there
are no results from the query

Ie select * from foo; returns nothing then you will get an empty result
set

If on the other hand there is an error in the query like a transaction
is in error, then the exception will be thrown
