What is the easiest (and least system intensive) method of getting the
total number of records in the result set? I am presently opening the
cursor, doing a FETCH ALL, reading PQntuples(), closing the cursor, and
reopening it for the 'real' work.
Background: I am writing a CGI script that paginates the output from an
SQL query and need to know a total number of records to calculate the
number of pages to display.
Is what I am going correct or is there a better way?
Thanks,
Mike.
