Hi Gyula

If you want to get the number of rows affected without executing the insert or update then
select count would be easiest.

eg. if you want to delete from a table

       delete from EMP where empno=9999;

You can do a select count(*) from EMP where empno=9999;

                      This will give you a value for the number of

records that will be deleted.
