Hi.

What is the best way of doing the following:

based upon some SPROC params, the results will return either with 0 results or y results.

Example: if we search on a postcode/zipcode, it may return 5 addresses.
However, another parameter called "exactResultNumber" would be given to the SPROC.

this indicates to only return results IF the query will return <= this parameter. If anything more, then dont return results but set an OUTPUT parameter to something... i.e a bit value.

how can I do this? What is the best way of doing this rather than having to do a COUNT(...) on the query to determine if it meets <= @exactResultNumber?

Thanks

you can capture @@ROWCOUNT value inside a variable after your select statement and check it against the exactResultNumber value. Based on value, you can set OUTPUT parameter or return resultset
