DataMapper ORM v1.8.2

No,

Datamapper uses CI's active record libary underneath, and CI just aborts when an error is detected. It doesn't throw exceptions that can be caught.

But you can check before running the query, every Datamapper object contains a property $fields, which contains all columns of the objects' table.

Code:

$u = new User();
if (in_array('name', $u->fields))
{
    $u->where(array(‘name’=>‘testname’));
}
else
{
    // column does not exist
}
$u->get();
