Does Mysql have an equivalent to @@ROWCOUNT like in mssql?

Question

How can I get row count values in MySQL as @@ROWCOUNT does in mssql?

Answer 1

There is another way:

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE `results` AS ( *** Your query without LIMIT *** );

Get the row count

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `results`;

Get your subset

SELECT * FROM `results` LIMIT 5,10;

The temporary table exists only in the current session. I would still clean-up afterwards

DROP TEMPORARY TABLE `results`;
