This all I have done and it generates no errors since it returns a
value althogh a boolean type as opposed to Array. Out of 4 different
queries this one is the one that returns a boolean. when I said I have
no idea how to generate an error message I meant how to generate a error
message concerning wrong type of return not no return.

aren't
