I'm trying to write some code which has to be useful under many different circumstances. Something I want to be able to do is to take an arbitrary SELECT statement and replace the columns which would normally be returned with COUNT(*) to find out how many rows would be returned. To do this I replace the text between "SELECT" and "FROM".
I suspect this won't work well with unusual SELECTs which include sub-selects. That's okay. I'm trying to get my head around whether JOINs could be a problem. Also, does anyone know whether some combination of NULs might make COUNT(*) give the wrong result ? And anything else relevant anyone wants to mention is fine too.
