Stored Procedure Question

Hello all,

I would like to create a stored procedure that does the following:

1. Accepts 4 values as parameters
2. SELECTS 1 record (LIMIT 1) from a table where the 4 parameters match fields in that table
a. If a record was returned then UPDATE the table
b. If a record was not returned then INSERT into a different table

My main question here is how can I execute a SELECT id FROM ... LIMIT 1 statement within a stored procedure then use the returned id field later in the procedure?

Something like this:

@row_id = SELECT id FROM myTable WHERE LIMIT 1;

IF @row_id != nothing THEN
UPDATE myTable ...
ELSE
INSERT INTO anotherTable ...
END IF

So if no rows were returned from the select I perform the ELSE block, otherwise I perform the main IF block.

Thanks!

Re: Stored Procedure Question [SOLVED]

Ah ha! Thanks Derek. I thought INTO was used strictly for inserting the selected records into another table.

Much appreciated.
