You mean how many rows are affected by the last query you've run? I saw

But imho, you never need it. You always should know how many rows are
affected before you execute a query.

Of course not, what absurd nonsense.

It could be a debug-tool,
though.Maybe I could implement it. Maybe for one specific connection, or
maybe even in a general form.

you can't always know, for instance if you do a conditional update:
update programmers set overtime = 'yes' where work_hours > 80

i've never used it in a program myself, but I've noted that there's an
api function for this in mysql and there's the sql function
ROW_COUNT() (in 5.0.1).  i suspect there are similar functions for
different flavours...

MySQL has mysql_affected_rows, Postgres has PQcmdTuples.
