So what would you do in case an exception is caught ? Returning a boolean `false` would definitely change the behavior of the method.

I would opt for just let the exception "bubble up" and let controllers or other beasts handle them ;)

That said... the original purpose of this change was to use the [truncateTable()](https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/libraries/joomla/database/driver.php#L1771) method instead of the "hard coded" query --- If I [remember](https://github.com/elkuku/joomla-cms/blame/sqlite__clean/administrator/components/com_installer/models/update.php#L171-182) well it was also something SQLite related... :wink:
