what is the results from $this->db->delete()

[eluser]dcbartlett[/eluser]
if anyone has a better solution than:

function delete_record($table, $id)
{

$d = $this->db->get_where($table, array('id' => $id));
if ($d->result()) {
$this->db->where('id',$id);
$this->db->delete($table);
return 1;
} else {
return 0;
}
}

Please let me know
