Hi everybody, is there a way to calculate the number of rows retrieved by a mysql query, without actually performing it?
I want to make a paginated result like in most search engines, and for that I need to display the number of pages the result would have, but I do not want to actually retrieve all the rows to be able to count them, because this is a loss of performance, in particular if the result set retrieves 100000 rows and 100 people make a search; this would end in 10000 x 100 rows just to say how many pages the result will have, I think there must be a better way to do it, isn't it? thanks to everybody in advance W.D.F. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
