Hi David, as you say it is throwing an exception, but not the one i
was expecting. I was expecting an invalid/empty resultset, not a data
conversion error which threw me off the scent while trying to find
the bug... Until i check the spec i'm trusting the implementation to
be correct. Apologies for the inconvenience
