I have a query that needs to return only if there are records that
match the criteria. My current query is something like this:

SELECT MAX(RECORD_DATE),RECORD_NAME
FROM TABLE_NAME
WHERE RECORD_DATE >= '7/21/2008' /*Today's Date*/
GROUP BY RECORD_NAME

The problem is that there can be thousands of records. The query can
often time out. And all I need to know is if there are any records. If
there is even one that's all I need to know.

Could somebody help me with this one?
