Re: To know the number of results returned just after query ??

While issuing a second 'count' query just after/before the real query will *probably* give you what you need *most* of the time, there is always that possibility that between the 2 someone else will issue a delete/insert/update that will cause the count/select to not match.

Going to the end of a result set, either by counting each returned row or jumping to the end and back, will bother your users to no end: don't do it, except for real small result sets.

You can add a count field to your result set, then each record will have the total number of rows selected, but you have to 'group by' all the fields in the select clause.
