Author Stored Procedure - Obtaining Output
Wes

2005-06-14, 11:23 am

Hi,

I would like to set up a stored procedure that does the following...
- Check does a record exist in a table
- Return the result (as True or False)

My query is simply
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE CODE = '123'

How to I trap the output of this query (as a True or False)!

Thanks,
Wez

Hi,

Use the below sample:-

Create proc testproc
as
Begin
IF EXISTS(SELECT 'x' FROM TABLE WHERE CODE = '123')
Select 'True'
Else
Select 'False'
End

Thanks
