Title: UPDATE Results

If you are within a C-type program, the SQLCA contains a field that contains the number of rows updated.  Look at the Application Developer’s Guide for more information.   Thank You   Stephen P.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 1:27 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: UPDATE Results   Is there a way to access 'something' that would denote if any rows were updated? Feedback lets you set up how many rows will be effected before a count is returned, but WHERE is this number coming from?  I have found a 'Returning' clause of the update statement, but I don't really want a value returned, just how many rows were affected. We have a situation where we want to know if an update statement actually updated any rows or in fact did not find a row that met the condition.  SqlPlus will return '0 rows updated.'  Does anyone know where 0 is coming from?
