title: How do I catch a query exception in laravel to see if it fails?
body: <p>All I'm trying to do is verify a query.</p>
  
  <pre><code>'SELECT * from table_that_does_not_exist'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Without that erroring out, I'd like to know it failed so I can return a response that states "Error: table does not exist" or the generic error.</p>
