Question

I need to check if the select operation I am performing is returning any rows or not.
Can someone please help me with this.

I am working on a shell script so I cannot save it in a variable and check. I need to check on the fly. I know I can use the count switch. But can someone help me with the syntax?

For example, I need to check:

--Now this query should return some data
select * from error_repository_BKP partition(part_maxval);

Answer 1

select count(*) from error_repository_BKP partition(part_maxval);

??
