CLI: how to get result set size

Hi All,

Is it possible for a C/C++ program using the CLI/ODBC interface to get the size of
a returned result set? I cannot find a function that can do that directly. Of course it is possible execure another statement with the same where clause that can use count(*)
but then I would have a penalty of executing additional statement. Is it possible somehow
to get the size of a result set using scrollable cursors? I would like to get the size before
I have started fetching it.

Thanks.

Alex.

In some cases, the rows are not retrieved from the database until you fetch them, so it is not possible.
