>>If I just need a count, why would i want to return a recordset?

A good example of this is when you want to display n records among 
"total nb of records".
Some databases allow you to set limits on the records to be returned.
For example in MySQL, in
SELECT ... LIMIT 9, 20 will return only rows 10 to 20, then if you want 
to display
"Here are records 10 to 20 of whatever are in the table", you do need a 
query to get the total
number of records.
