Thankyou.
I've just tried this.
In fact i write a select count(1) which is faster (for a reason i don't know).
The problem is that in many cases i have a group clause that cause problems with
this method.
So i thought this:

resultset= statement.CreateQuery();
resultset2= resultset;

Obviously, both resultset and resultset2 points the same set of data.
Because i have java 1.1, my resultsets are forward-only. When i loop resultset
to count, resultset2 loops too.

I've tried to clone the resultset too.
    ResultSet temp;
    Object aux= new Object();
    aux= (java.lang.Object)rs;
    temp= (ResultSet)aux.clone();

But it fails at compilation time. What can i do?
