True but I doubt his update statement would ever do that... Ever. I would presume that it will be a case of update or error as Dave noted and without possibly using your own messages in SQL, it will do the trick.

It doesn't actually indicate that anything was updated. UPDATE sometable SET somecolumn = 'somevalue' WHERE 1=0 won't throw an error...but it also doesn't do anything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJQ Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:273312 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
