Row Count

How can I get selected row count in one statement?
For example, I can do that by two select statements

select id, name, addrress, (select count(*) from(select id
                                                                     from users
                                                                      where name<>'examplename')
from users
where name<>'examplename'

or

declare rowcount integer
...............
rowcount:=select count(*) from(select id
                                               from users
                                                where name<>'examplename') as rst

select id, name, address, rowcount as rowcount
from users
where name<>'examplename'

select id,
        name,
        addrress,
        count(*) over () as row_count
from users
where name <> 'examplename';

select id, name, ..., row_number() over () from ...

works since 8.4.

Usually it is immediately available after statement execution without
additional query.

For example in PL/PgSQL you can use GET DIAGNOSTICS straight after your SELECT:

SELECT INTO _id, _name, _address id, name, address
FROM users WHERE name <> 'examplename';

GET DIAGNOSTICS _row_count = ROW_COUNT;

In external languages like Perl:

$sth = $dbh->prepare(
    "select id, name, address, rowcount as rowcount".
    "from users where name<>'examplename'");

$row_count = $sth->execute(...);

That will only return the row count in the *last* row, not in all of them.
