[pgrouting-users] Ignore Vertex Not Found Error

[Elijah Meeks]

How does one set it so that a target or source vertex not found simply results in an empty response (or some other response) and not not an error? I'm trying to see if there are routes between X and Y with Z roads turned off and I'd like to do it as a single query where I get the distance in the case that there are routes and a 0 or -999 or something else in the case that there is no route.

I know I could use the 1tomany implementation and just give it a single value in the array, but I'd prefer to use the standard shortest_path().

Thanks,
Elijah
