no -- because the number of rows to be fetched is not known until the last row to be fetched is actually fetched. for example, if you "select * from on_billion_Row_Table", you'll start getting rows back right away -- we do not in general build the result set somewhere and then start giving you the data -- rather, we give you the data right from the table and it is not until we find all the data that we know the rowcount ourselves.
