However, this is not (and apparently has) never been implemented. Actually, you either get an SQLite3Result object or FALSE. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-10-19 03:05:07] ich_bin_sehr_gerne at web dot de Description: ------------ Hey there, it appears to me that Sqlite3->query() always returns either "false" (if the query was started with faulty sql statement) or otherwise an "Object", but never "true", even if the query was run against an empty database table. Did I get anything wrong? What is the appropriate way to check if there were any matches in the results?
