Hi,

I am trying to get a 0 or 1 depending on the sucess or failure of a
t-sql statement, and here is what I have:

Declare @boolDatabaseExists bit
Declare @chvnNewDatabaseName nvarchar(260)

SET @chvnNewDatabaseName = 'NewDatabase'
SET @boolDatabaseExists =
(
SELECT (1)
FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases
WHERE name = @chvnNewDatabaseName

)

Print @boolDatabaseExists

What it is doing right now is that it prints a 1 for when there is a
match for the @NewDatabaseName in the sysdatabases table. If there is
not a match, then there is no value set for @ boolDatabaseExists
What I would like it to do is if there is no match for the
@NewDatabaseName in the sysdatabases, I would like to set the
boolDatabaseExists to 0

I hope I am clear in my explanation.

Thank you

KR
