Ah ha! Thanks Derek. I thought INTO was used strictly for inserting the selected records into another table.
Much appreciated. On 09/21/2011 02:34 PM, Derek Downey wrote:

Accepts 4 values as parameters 2. SELECTS 1 record (LIMIT 1) from a table where the 4 parameters match fields in that table a. If a record was returned then UPDATE the table b. If a record was not returned then INSERT into a different table My main question here is how can I execute a SELECT id FROM ... LIMIT 1 statement within a stored procedure then use the returned id field later in the procedure? Something like this: @row_id = SELECT id FROM myTable WHERE<blah blah> LIMIT 1; IF @row_id != nothing THEN UPDATE myTable ... ELSE INSERT INTO anotherTable ... END IF So if no rows were returned from the select I perform the ELSE block, otherwise I perform the main IF block.
