HEy ppl,
       I am doing a task were i need to check whether a person 
requesting services is a valid employee. The details of the requesting 
person are stored in table "REQUEST" and the employee db is 
in "EMPLOYEE".
       For verifying individual requests I have to check if a given 
empid in REQUEST is present in EMPLOYEE.

What I thought of doing is that i store the empid from Request in a var 
temp and then execute the query :
$query=select empid from EMPLOYEE where empid ==temp;

If the empid in REQUEST is not present in EMPLOYEE I get an empty query
my doubt is 

"HOW DO I IDENTIFY THAT THE QUERY RESULT IS EMPTY?"
