Hi all, My basic question is, is there a simple way of finding out if a select statement executed within a stored proc returns something. I could go ahead, do the fetch (the query is done with a cursor) and count how many records were returned but looping over the result. In below proc the variable cnt serves this purpose.
Is there an easier way to do this, like a cursor property or so?
