Hi All,
I use
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM whatever WHERE whatever
to determine how many rows a particular query will return (then use this
count to assist with pagination).
The problem is that this does not work if the query contains a GROUP BY
statement as, of course,
the query will return many rows each with a count by each grouping.
Does anyone know an efficient way to determine the number of ROWS a query
with a GROUP BY
statement will return (without just executing the entire query with no LIMIT
statement)?
You are not stating which database you are working with, but I would do this
(don't know if it's efficient, but it'll work):
SELECT sum(count) FROM
(SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM whatever WHERE whatever) t1;
Hope it helps.
