Jorge Teixeira <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #7 from Jorge Teixeira <[email protected]> --- The current behavior of showing the current number of loaded records is very misleading, but I understand that requiring to load all records into memory by default would be even worse. Some (most?) SQL engines have the ability to report internal/management stats which include **approximate** row counts with little overhead. I don't know if this is available in ODBC/etc. in a standardized way. A COUNT(*) query would provide the exact number, at significant overhead for large tables, and should work with all backends. Perhaps this RFE would be more feasible if there was first a form property "rowsTotalCountPreview" with possible values "Currently loaded records (default)", "Exact total count (very slow)", with availability "Approximate total count (fast)" depending on the type of backend/etc.. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
