How I write pretty query.

Hi ,

I have table

------------------
id | name
------------------
1 rado
2 marek
3 pista

I need make query. Your output is only (true or false)

This 2 query are good but no pretty.

1) SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table WHERE name=rado

-------------
output --> COUNT(*) 1

or

2) SELECT name FROM table WERE name=rado

-------------
output --> name rado

and this is pretty query :-) buy no good.

SELECT (true or false) FROM table WHERE name=rado

--------------
output ----> true

How I write good and pretty query ?

Thanks

Rado
