sql server return value on select
Aloha, I am trying to get the value in a select statement if no rows are returned. I have tried using the @@error message but it always returns 0. Should it be +100 if no rows are found?

I have a stroed procedure and I am trying to figure out based on a value from the select whether any rows were pulled.
I have used if @@rowcount < 1 and if @@error <> 0 but the sql statement always return 0 as the value even if it found no rows. Shouldn't it pull state 100 if no rows found. mahalo,

I found a work around but I think the issue was that I had a subquery in the where clause and while that evaluted to 0 the outer still returned 1. any thoughts?
not sure what your problem is, @@rowcount will return the number of rows affected/returned by the last SQL executed. returns 0 if no rows are affected.
