I do not think it is hard to check for empty values on a column that should contain a value. If you know you have a column that has a default value, then why not check to see if the returned record is empty?
I am going to check for the exists() method later. If the exists() method is present, I would just call it. If it does not, I would probably add this method to my best practices and always add it to my customizeable objects.

I wasn't asking for it, just asking what happened :-)
IMVHO doing nothing when an error (record not found) occurs isn't good.
Either an error should be thrown, an extra column ('recordWasFound' ?) tacked
on the result or something else.

Yup, it's a run time fault.
