List,
When I create a table as select * from another table across a dblink, how do
I find out how many rows were created in the table? Is there a statistic
somewhere, documented or otherwise, that tells me how many rows were
fetched?
Currently I am using a rather convoluted approach - using the statistic,
bytes received via SQL*Net to dblink, and dividing that by the average row
size to get an approximate idea of the number of rows. However, this
approximation is far from even reasonably accurate; and since the rowsize
can change radically, it can be way off the mark. Any help or pointers will
be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
