How do I count the number of rows returned in my SQLite reader in C#?

Question

I\'m working in Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express and with SQLite.

I\'m querying my database with something like this:

SQLiteCommand cmd = new SQLiteC         


        

Answer 1

Do a second query:

cmd.CommandText = "select count(id) from myTable where word = '" + word + "';";
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
SQLiteDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();

Your reader will then contain a single row with one column containing the number of rows in the result set. The count will have been performed on the server, so it should be nicely quick.
