Re: SQLRPG - prepare, declare, no cursor

["rick baird" <rick.baird@xxxxxxxxx>]

sort of.

the problem is dynamically assembling my where clause.  don't know
until runtime what I'm going to select on.

For what it's worth - I ended up changing it anyway - getting the
count is going to be much slower than fetching one record (optimize
for 1 record) - the requirement is to check for a valid combination of
fields in this file, and it's only checking, not listing or updating.

so i'm going to fetch one record to validate instead of returning a
count - I don't care how many, only that one exists, and I want it to
run as quickly as possible.

thanks to all who helped.
