Is there a faster way of getting the total number of records in a table other than count(*) / count(1) ????
Please reply ASAP!!!!

Because the count-statement is not save for 100% you can also ask for the error-parameters, even when no error has occured.

fi:
SELECT column1, column2
FROM table1

We ask then for sqlerd(3). In this variable the number of records read is stored.

-> NumberOfRecords = sqlerd(3)

Remark: We work on a OpenVms-platform with Fortran-programs and I think this is a feature of Fortran (I'm not sure)
