You could write such a function, but it wouldn't be able to be general purpose as a zero-byte file is, in fact, a valid file. You could just as easily do a 'select 1 from table limit 1;' and make sure that you get back a successful, single-row, result, if you wish to verify that certain tables in your database always have at least 1 row.
