Is there a way to make CI throw an exception when it encounters a DB error instead of displaying a message like:


  

A Database Error Occurred Error Number: 1054 Unknown column 'foo' in 'where clause' SELECT * FROM (FooBar) WHERE foo = '1'

NOTE: I only want this to happen in one controller. In the other controllers, I'm happy for it to display the DB error messages.
