You're missing the point. When you do a query in PostgreSQL you know
how many rows were returned. The interface tells you. For example in
Perl it's $sth->rows for DBI or $res->ntuples for Pg, in pl/PgSQL it's
GET DIAGNOSTICS, in C it's PQntuples().

The rowcount is metadata and is passed seperately from the data. The
interface you're using should tell you how many rows there are...

Perhaps you should tell us what language/interface you are using so we
can give a complete answer.

Have a nice day,
