Hi all:
Is there a way to tell if an UPDATE statement actually updates a record
when there's a WHERE clause being used?
For example:
UPDATE table1 ;
SET field1 = temp_value ;
WHERE field2 = search_value
If I execute this statement, the program continues on merrily whether or
not there was a matching record based upon the WHERE clause, which, I
suppose, is just fine. But, I'd really like to know the number of records
affected by the UPDATE statement.
Does UPDATE return a count? As in:
update_count = UPDATE table1....
That would certainly solve the issue, but I don't see this syntax being
supported in the Help file.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Jon
