The caller can then choose what to do with that info.Paul WatsonThu, 13 Apr 2006 09:20:00 -0000http://paulmwatson.com/journal/2006/04/11/testing-both-ways/#comment-1280289You make a good point but your example raises an interesting question.<br><br>If you request deletion of ID n then the successful result is that the row with ID n no longer exists after the operation. This is the case if ID n did not exist in the first place so can it really be said to be an error if a non-existent item is deleted?Steve CraneWed, 12 Apr 2006 06:26:00 -0000
