DB generating a notice

Hi all, A question: why does DB generate a notice when a query yields an empty result set, for example: SELECT * FROM newsitems will result in this notice being issued. I think this shouldn't happen, it is always up to the DB user to check if there's any rows available. By the way, if you have never run into this behaviour, try installing the php.ini-dist that comes with php, instead of keeping your legacy php.ini. It will treat you to a notice and warning mania that makes one question his codes quality :-) Regards, Hans
