Looks like you're using libpq (because you mention PQcmdStatus),
then after declaring a cursor and FETCH ALL, try
1.3.4. Retrieving SELECT Result Information
PQntuples Returns the number of tuples (rows) in the query result.
int PQntuples(const PGresult *res);
I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to achieve or going to do,
so if I misunderstood you, ask again.
