Re: getting number of records returned by SQL in PHP

[Paul Tuohy <tuohyp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

db2_num_rows() should return the number of rows in the select IF you are 
using a scrollable cursor. But you will probably find that the select 
count(*) approach is faster (unless you are using a scrollable cursor 
for other reasons).
