Try putting the select in an enclosing block, ie: -

begin

    SELECT my_id INTO v_temp
    FROM my_tablee
    WHERE my_id = v_number;
exception

when NO_DATA_FOUND then

do_something;
end;
use_v_temp;

Gurus,

In my Oracle 8.1.7 stored procedure, I'm selecting into a variable and need to check to see if anything was found but I get an exception when there are no records. I guess I could select count() and check the returned count number but I thought there might be a better way. Any ideas?

    SELECT my_id INTO v_temp
    FROM my_tablee
    WHERE my_id = v_number;
    IF SQL%FOUND THEN

        p_error_code := 100;
        RETURN;

END IF; TIA, Woody
