I think the current method of returning error is fine (your #2). At

For now we have made it as "Error nnn"

Revolution do not have exceptions, right?
And it is better return "Error nnn" to avoid extra call
Database_LastError
Right ?
Revolution has exceptions and we can trigger them in Transcript. Look
at the "try" structure and the "throw" command. However, I'd
personally rather keep exceptions for trapping runtime execution
errors and special situations.
I find it easy enough and convenient to handle getting "error xxx" in
the result, although in principle, either this way or
"Database_LastError" are fine as long as it is consistent. On the
other hand, the small but nevertheless overhead of the extra function
call to "Database_LastError" may add up when running loops through
thousands of records, particularly as it may be called multiple times
in a single loop.
The only thing that I find somewhat annoying in this area with
Valentina 1.x is that while most functions return "error", some
functions return false in case of failure and some return 0. Because
of that I need always 3 different assertion handlers and make sure to
use the right one after any Valentina call.
