SQLite uses some nifty heuristics to estimate the number of rows it expects to 
process while formulating a query plan. The only way to come up with the exact 
number of result rows is to actually run the query. At which point you already 
know how many rows have been returned.

Betreff: [EXTERNAL] [sqlite] Number of rows in answer set

Hi,

If I run a SELECT statement that returns an answer set is there an api call 
that will tell me "number of rows in answer set" - something like 
"sqlite3_row_count"? I have looked at the calls but couldn't find any - sorry 
if I've missed it.



I know could use a "create temporary table xxx as my-select" and then "select 
count(*) from xxx" but was wondering if SQLite holds that information in an 
accessible place.



Cheers,

Dave
