[SR-Users] sql_xquery() and xavp checks

[Fred Posner]

When I use xquery, I generally use it with a stored procedure that 
returns a value if not matched... so I always return at least one row 
with a variable of 'fail', -1, etc. to evaluate.

I like this for a variety of reasons (ie changing sql without changing 
the config)... but that being said...

Wouldn't this still work for you:

if($dbr(gateways=>rows)>0) { }
