Re: [sqlite] newie question
Hi, this is a normal select statement, you can retrieve the result in the same way as for 'select foo from bar' - Statement. The tecnical way depends on the interface you use. If you need a name of the result field, you can use 'SELECT COUNT(*) as MyField FROM atable'; the result field is the named "MyField".
