    Improve `show()` output for empty DataFrames (#1208)
    
    * Add test for showing empty DataFrame and improve print output for empty 
DataFrames
    
    * Add tests for handling empty DataFrames and zero-row queries
    
    * Add tests for showing DataFrames with no rows and improve output messages
    
    * Fix assertion in test_show_from_empty_batch to ensure proper output for 
empty DataFrames
    
    * feat(tests): add a blank line before test_show_select_where_no_rows 
function for improved readability
