I tested this using CF 4.01 using a 9000+ record Access database.
Using Query.RecordCount was actually about 10-20% faster.

If you do a select * and then do a record count you have to perform 2
operations. Select count(*) is only one so I think you are right -
count(*)
will be faster but it'll be negligible unless you have a huge amount
of
records

Subject: count() or recordcount
Which is faster? I'm presuming count() or what else would it be good
for?
