IF ROW COUNT = 0 GO TO END

  • Hello,

    I need to add a step in my stored procedure at the very beginning where it checks if TABLE A has any records or is blank before moving down the code of the stored proc.
    i.e.
    IF (SELECT ROW COUNT(*) FROM TABLE A) > 0
    THEN
         BEGIN
                 DROP INDEX....
                  DELETE FROM TABLE B......
                 INSERT INTO TABLE B......
                  RE-CREATE INDEX.....
       END
    ELSE
      ???????????????????????????????

    Here's where I'm not sure what the syntax/command/function needs to be in order to tell it to just go to the end of the stored proc if the row count in TABLE A = 0.

  • if not exists (select 1 from TableA)
      return;

    Should exit the proc at that point, if zero rows are found.

    That worked just fine. Thanks!
