Like I said, we are talking about 50 lines of code here. The point of
Village is that it is very light weight.
(Side note: Also, it is a good idea to look at how other people write code
because sometimes you might learn something useful. ;-) I know that I have
learned quite a bit from other open source projects and would not have been
able to do so unless I had looked at the code. In fact, I just read through
the process of Apache JServ's custom class loader and learned quite a bit
about how classes are loaded into the JVM.)

It is quite feasible to write a wrapper method around SQL COUNT. This would
be really nice to add to Town. Thanks for the feature request.
You could do something like this:
QueryDataSet qds = new QueryDataSet (connection, "sql" );
int size = qds.count()

I have included the url to village in almost every email on this subject.

On the page, is a link to the cvsweb interface.
It is all in front of you, you just need to open your eyes. ;-)
