In my table which had about 300 million (sic.) rows I did this

SELECT count(*) FROM myTable;

to count the number of rows.  After half an hour it was still processing and I 
had to kill it.

I know that the internal structure of a table means that this number isn't 
simple to produce.  But is there really no faster way ?  This table is going to 
have about six times that amount soon.  I really can't count the rows in less 
than a few hours ?

Simon.
