[sql] Return Boolean Value on SQL Select Statement

How to return a boolean value on SQL Select Statement?

I tried this code:

SELECT CAST(1 AS BIT) AS Expr1
FROM [User]
WHERE (UserID = 20070022)

And it only returns TRUE if the UserID exists on the table. I want it to return FALSE if the UserID doesn't exist on the table.

The answer is


What you have there will return no row at all if the user doesn't exist. Here's what you need:

SELECT CASE WHEN EXISTS (
    SELECT *
    FROM [User]
    WHERE UserID = 20070022
)
THEN CAST(1 AS BIT)
ELSE CAST(0 AS BIT) END
