Right now I'm doing:

Dim cur as VCursor, ValueExists as boolean

Cur = db.SQLSelect("SELECT field FROM table WHERE Field = 'something')

ValueExists = Cur <> NIL AND Cur.RecordCount > 0




I was wondering if the following would be faster:


Dim cur as VCursor, ValueExists as boolean

Cur = db.SQLSelect("SELECT Count(field) FROM table WHERE Field =
'something')

ValueExists = Cur <> NIL AND Cur.ULongField(1).Value <> 0


Also would that be he right way for that way of doing it?
I am assuming here that a count is a ULongField.
I am also assuming Cur.RecordCount can never be 0, as a count of 0
should still return a "record"
