Re: JDBC help

 If exists(stmt.executeQuery)

    I'm not sure what you're mixing above, but Statement.executeQuery()
returns a ResultSet, not a boolean.  Unless you did it as a stored

procedure

that returned an OUT parameter, you'll need to do

Joe, thanks for your input.  I'll take a look at your examples.  I realized
that .executeQuery always returns a resultset. What I was trying to get at,
is that in PSQL or TSQL you can say.

If EXISTS(SELECT * FROM TABLE)
BEGIN
  -- do something
END

So I was just wondering if there was something similar to that in Java.
"SELECT 1 From Table" should work.  Thanks.

You are correct, I'm query a non DB2 table... it's Microsoft SQL I
believe...

url equals  jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://"+ipAddr+":1433/"+dbName

//Using jtds driver
Class.forName("net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");

if that means anything to you.
