If you are only looking to see how many records were deleted, most DB interfaces will give you that information.
Thanks, Pedant. I didn't think it would, but I've got a weird error when trying to delete a record. Trying to track down what is causing it, and thought that _maybe_ Oracle was erroring if the record did not exist.
