Return Boolean Value on SQL Select Statement

Question

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)
         


        

Answer 1

Notice another equivalent problem: Creating an SQL query that returns (1) if the condition is satisfied and an empty result otherwise. Notice that a solution to this problem is more general and can easily be used with the above answers to achieve the question that you asked. Since this problem is more general, I am proving its solution in addition to the beautiful solutions presented above to your problem.

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