No, I am doing a view page to view an entry seperately. I am using the 
.empty? method to check if the row exists, and if it does not I will 
output an error. This is the entire page code:

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @posts = Posts.find_all
  end

  def view
    @post = Posts.find(@params["id"])

    if @post.empty?
       render_text "Post does not exist."
    end

  end

end
