I found an error from my yesterdays post: > Basically, in 9i there are four ways of finding out how many rows will any query return: > > 1) select from the query and count > 2) use v$sql_plan_statistics column output_rows for already executed queries
output_rows shows cumulative "outrows" statistics for specific query, last_output_rows shows rowcount for last execution of a query.
