Thread: What is "Count Rows' supposed to do?

In the navigator, drill down to your tables.  Right-click on any table, and select "Count Rows".

A little pale-green popup appears in the lower right corner of pgAdmin that says "Table Rows Counted".   But that's all it says... I.e., it doesn't actually report the number of rows in that table, as far as I can see.

Is there supposed to be some some other feedback somewhere, or am I misunderstanding the purpose of "Count Rows" (which I had assumed would just report the number of rows in the table)?

Cheers,

Dave

Considering that you have a popup saying Rows Counted, don't you think it's also prudent to show the count on the popup itself as opposed to requiring a user to select a different panel in order to see the count operation that he just triggered with a different menu option?

The count is shown in the properties panel for the table (field name: Rows (counted)) .
