Actually, sometimes there are. Consider: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t1, t2; SELECT (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t1) * (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t2); Of course, those are special cases. Application programmers should probably watch for this kind of thing, but it probably wasn't what the programmer wanted to count in the first place. --David Garfield _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
