why not just do it all in one SQL Statement?

Subject: looping through queries
I have two tables: Articles, ArticleCat(egorie)s. At some point I want to
list all categories and allow checkboxes for multiple deletes, but only when
a category is empty (no articles).
I want to loop through a query of ArticleCats and test if there are articles
under that category. The only thing I can think of is to run query each
iteration of the loop, which does not sound right.:
<cfquery name="getarticleCats" dsn=dsn>
Select ID, Name
>From ArticleCats
</cfquery>
<cfloop query="getArticleCats">
<cfquery name="isAssigned" maxrows=1>
Select ID from Articles
Where A_Cat=#getArticleCats.ID#
</cfquery>
<cfif NOT isAssigned(RecordCount)=0>
<cfset deleteOK=False>
</cfif>
This sounds like a huge burden. Is there another way to do it?
