Woody,

    That would be one way to handle it, but you can also try:

declare
    cursor my_cur is
    select my_id
    from my_tablee
    where my_id = v_number;
    v_temp mu_cur%rowtype;
begin
    open my_cur;
    fetch my_cur into v_temp;
    if(my_cur%found) then
        whatever
    elsif(my_cur%notfound) then
        whatever2
    end if;
end;
/

    you could also use the NO_DATA_FOUND exception in an execption handler as in
"exception when no_data_found then null;"

Gurus,

In my Oracle 8.1.7 stored procedure, I'm selecting into a variable and need
to check to see if anything was found but I get an exception when there are
no records.  I guess I could select count() and check the returned count
number but I thought there might be a better way.  Any ideas?

    SELECT my_id INTO v_temp
    FROM my_tablee
    WHERE my_id = v_number;
    IF SQL%FOUND THEN
        p_error_code := 100;
        RETURN;
    END IF;


TIA,

Woody
