Hi,

Is there some way to FORCE SQL*Plus to always return a figure for the number of rows selected?

It doesn't always return the number of rows returned.

For example if I do:
SQL> select row_id from CX_BATCH_REF;

ROW_ID

---

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11

ROW_ID

---

12

12 rows selected.

Then I do:

SQL> select systimestamp from dual;

SYSTIMESTAMP
