As far as a use case, something like this would be great for use in the CLI for example. Sometimes I'll run a query expecting a dozen results only to get page after page scrolling by. Having something akin to "select changes();" that returns an instant answer of how many were selected would be great, as opposed to re-running the whole query as a "select count(*) from (original query);" Or something like the .changes option that would show a final line of "selected: 123,456 rows"
Side note: The page after page of unexpected results scrolling by is why I'd love a ctrl-c event in the CLI that stops the current query but keeps the connection open. If I've attached a few databases and populated a handful of temp tables then it's a choice of getting some coffee while all the results scroll by, or killing it and spending the same time re-populating the temp tables. There's no way to just stop the query and keep the CLI open. (That I'm aware of anyway) _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
