query method return false?

[quote author="jmadsen" date="1309969819"]in order for this to work, you must go into

config/database.php

$db['default']['db_debug'] = TRUE;

and set it to FALSE;

If not, the DB_driver.php function will return the database error to the page, and "crash" it[/quote]

EXACTLY! That is the thing!

I got confused cuz I was getting this error printed on the page. But yes ... if db_debug is set to false, running the faulty query simply returns false. awesome!
