I’ve read up on the subject and realise that in most cases there’s no way of getting the row count without stepping through all the rows. That said, is there not times when sqlite could help to avoid this? Take the following simple query
SELECT RowID from Tbl where Col > ?1 order by Col; // there’s no index on Col I’m assuming sqlite can’t complete the first step without first obtaining and sorting the result set and that, in doing so, it already knows the row count. Is there any way of obtaining this or is there a case for a function sqlite3_row_count(stmt) which returns -1 when it can’t be determined but otherwise completes the pre first step code and returns the row count? _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
