I have never had it return anything but a non-negative integer, no matter what you SELECT, or even if you don't SELECT at all. For example, if you run an INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE, you will get a non-negative integer for RecordCount - it will usually be zero, but if you have a trigger that SELECTs data the RecordCount will reflect that. It may have done this in some version, but I've never seen it.
