Hi all, 

In the 4.0 manual, section F.1.1 "Changes in release 4.0" it says:

"Added SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS and FOUND_ROWS(). This makes it possible to know how many 
rows a query would have returned without a LIMIT clause."

Unfortunately, I can't find any other references to FOUND_ROWS() in the manual, or 
when I do a search for it in the documentation on the MySQL site.

This function would be very handy for me in an application I'm working on.

I tried it in the client, for example:

mysql> select col1, col2 
    -> from tbl 
    -> where col2 > 5
    -> limit 10;

And I got 10 rows back.

I then did:

mysql> select found_rows();
           -> 10

then;

mysql> select col1, col2 
    -> from tbl 
    -> where col2 > 5

and got back 32 rows

mysql> select found_rows();
           -> 32

This doesn't seems to be working as the brief description would seem to indicate.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

/Rob
