this should be easy...

how would one go about determining the number of rows in a mysql table,
without actually wasting the time of querying for *.

is this the best way?

$result = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM tablename');
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);

does this actually take up time searching?

thanks.
