title: SQL query issue in Django
body: <p>I am trying to find out if a value is present in a column in a MySQL table from my django application. This is what I have done:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cursor = connection.cursor()
  cursor.execute('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM model_combination_bank WHERE combination = %s AND validity = 1', [combination])
  result = cursor.fetchall
  if result != 1:
      self.respond('Sorry. The entry code you entered is not valid. Please try again with a valid code.')
      return()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know for sure that there is a 1 row in the table that matches the SELECT STATEMENT but the self.respond function runs. Can somebody kindly tell me whats wrong with my code.</p>
