For InnoDB tables it returns an estimate of the row count, based on 8 random dives into the clustered index tree. For MyISAM it returns the accurate number, because MyISAM separately keeps and stores the row count of a table. > PS: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table is working just fine, but on InnoDB tables > with large number of rows (my tables have -+ 300000 records each) it take a > few seconds to get the results. > This is not a big issue for me, but I'd like to confirm that. > > Thanks, > > []'s > > Crercio O.
