Return a value if no rows are found in Microsoft tSQL

Question

Using a Microsoft version of SQL, here's my simple query. If I query a record that doesn't exist then I will get nothing returned. I'd prefer that false (0) is returned in that scenario. Looking for the simplest method to account for no records.

SELECT  CASE
            WHEN S.Id IS NOT NULL AND S.Status = 1 AND (S.WebUserId = @WebUserId OR S.AllowUploads = 1) THEN 1
            ELSE 0
        END AS [Value]

        FROM Sites S

        WHERE S.Id = @SiteId

Answer 1

This is similar to Adam Robinson's, but uses ISNULL instead of COUNT.

SELECT ISNULL(
(SELECT 1 FROM Sites S
WHERE S.Id = @SiteId and S.Status = 1 AND 
      (S.WebUserId = @WebUserId OR S.AllowUploads = 1)), 0)

If the inner query has a matching row, then 1 is returned. The outer query (with ISNULL) then returns this value of 1. If the inner query has no matching row, then it doesn't return anything. The outer query treats this like a NULL, and so the ISNULL ends up returning 0.
