@davecramer [Fabricating an empty ResultSet would be pages and pages long](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64632584/how-to-return-empty-resultset). Additionally, returning an empty ResultSet would be incorrect behaviour if the database is down, the database user credentials were revoked or changed, etc., which should throw an Exception.
