- Hi.
-
- I was wondering if it was possible to find out the number of
- rows that a query will return before accessing the data without using
- 'count(.*)' with select. I have a large query that takes a while to
- execute, and I'm hoping to keep my application reasonably interactive
- by not executing it once for the count and once for the data.
-
- Any answers or pointers would be appreciated, I think I've read all
- the relevant parts of the manual.
