MySql: record exists	by mikosullivan	2002-11-01 10:57:10
I dont' know all the syntax...	by krupa	2002-11-01 11:08:11
but if you say something like: select count( pat_key ) from table where pat_key=1000 You'll get a little one cell table with a number in it, if it exists, you'll get 1, otherwise, you'll get 0. Or, depending on how you're analyzing the results, you can also simply say: *select from table where pat_key=1000** If it doesn't exist, you'll get no results (except an message saying nothing was found).
