Is this the best way to check if a record exists?

Select Recid from salestable where salestable.saleid = salesid;

    Hi,
    By standard practice you can check it by calling exists method like below or if its custom table then you can create exists method and use it. 

    if (VendTable::exist(AccountNum))
    {

    }

    if there is no standard exists method available then the query you have written is correct but make sure this need to write at table level so it can be reusable.

    You could add the firstOnly keyword to the statement for better performance:

    select firstOnly RecId from salestable where salestable.saleid = salesid;
