Hello all,

I would like to create a stored procedure that does the following:

1. Accepts 4 values as parameters
2. SELECTS 1 record (LIMIT 1) from a table where the 4 parameters match fields 
in that table
        a. If a record was returned then UPDATE the table
        b. If a record was not returned then INSERT into a different table

My main question here is how can I execute a SELECT id FROM ... LIMIT 1 
statement within a stored procedure then use the returned id field later in the 
procedure?

Something like this:

@row_id = SELECT id FROM myTable WHERE <blah blah> LIMIT 1;

IF @row_id != nothing THEN
        UPDATE myTable ...
ELSE
        INSERT INTO anotherTable ...
END IF

So if no rows were returned from the select I perform the ELSE block, otherwise 
I perform the main IF block.

Thanks!
