I thought the same thing. While I'm not a MS SQL guru, I put 'TOP 100
PERCENT' after SELECT in the query. The Enterprise Manager does not
indicate how many rows come back. I save it as a VIEW in MS SQL and do a
'select count(*)...' and, yes, it comes back 42164877 records.

No, it comes back 1 record with the count in it, the ORDER BY is useless for a count(*), etc.

        What is it that you are trying to do exactly ?
