Could someone please give me a hibernate statement that contains a PL/SQL statement that stops counting records if one is found?
i.e.
int i = 0;
count records;
if i++, stop counting;
return boolean

Thanks. I've been wracking my brains all day and time is short. I would really appreciate the help.

I am wondering why u'd need something like that? A database count(*) operation should usually not take much time. It it's only the return value that u want to be a Boolean instead of a number and u want to do that in the HQL instead of Java code:
SELECT CASE count(a) WHEN 1 THEN true ELSE false END FROM A a

And in case u want it to be part of the where clause of any other HQL,
.... where exists(from A)
