Subject: 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
