How to check for duplicate usernames?

Sorry didn't read the whole post. revDataFromQuery will return empty if there were no records matching your select statement. Check to see if it is empty. Obviously, if you need it to be unique, and nothing has gone wrong in the past, there will only be one matching record if one already exists and then revDataFromQuery will not return an empty value. 

Again, I like the fact that sqlYoga can return the data as an array instead of a text blob.
