Hullo.  Welcome to my question.

In my controller I need to get the number of items in a table.

If I was just using MySQL, I'd do "select count(*) from blah where blah
blah blah".

What is the way to do this in my controller?  I'd like to avoid
something like Blah.find(:all, :conditions => blah blah).size

Is there a way to do the equivalent of select count(*) in the
controller?
