Catch DB error

@Diederik: the column name was just an example. I want to catch any DB error, for instance it could be losing the connexion, the table being dropped etc

@joespostiga: I've tried using the try/catch to get the exception ... but it the exception is not caught (probably none are thrown).

A few more details :
The model

PHP Code:

class P_model extends CI_Model{
    // Insert a new row in table 
    function insert($pRow) {
        return $this->db->insert( 'P', $pRow);
    } 


Extract of the controler :

PHP Code:

            if (($handle = fopen('./Files/P.csv', 'r')) !== FALSE) {
                fread($handle, 3); // Discard the BOM
                $header = fgetcsv($handle, 0, $mySep); // First line is headers
                $i=0;
                try {
                    while ( (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 0, $mySep)) !== FALSE) OR $myDBerror) {
                        $myDBerror= ! $this->P_model->insert(array_combine($header, $data));
                        $this->firephp->log('myDBerror et i', $myDBerror, $i);
                        ++$i;
                    }
                } catch  (Exception $e) {
                    echo 'Received exception : ',  $e->getMessage(), "\n";
                } 


Note that neither the $myDBerror nor the try/catch trap the error !
As a matter of fact, the debug log ($this->firephp->log) is not run when an error is generated (hence $myDBerror is completely useless).

Any ideas ?
