Need to retrieve number of rows affected by SQL query

Hi,
I am executing some update queries in SQL in a xMII transaction. Iam using a SQL Query template for the same and I need to find out how many records were affected by the last executed statement. I have tried doing SELECT @@ROWCOUNT in a second SQL template that executes after the UPDATE SQL Query Template. However, the results are intermittent, sometimes it returns 1 row affected as expected but sometimes returns 0 rows. Can anyone help on this.
Thanks

Anamika,
1) As per sql best practices use of trigger is not recommend unless you don't have any other option because usually triggers consume more resources and IO since it involves internal monitoring.
2) @@ROWCOUNT should go in same SQL session where you are performing update to identify rows affected else as you said earlier your results will not be accurate
3) The other alternative is to create a Stored Procedure but it again boils down to your authorization issue. This would be easier and better if you have authorization to create SP's. But nevertheless give it a try.
4) Lets forget about SP say that you have an Update Statement like
Update Table1 set column2 = 'abc' where Column2 = 'xyz'
In this case it is evident that you know what you are passing into the Where clause and to what table hence its obvious that you also know how many rows will be affected by using query,
Select count(*) from Table1 where Column2 = 'abc'
The @@ROWCOUNT is powerful within t-sql with SP, cursors etc..
Hope this helps!!

Need to limit number of rows returned by a query

Hi. Is there a way to limit the rowsets returned to me in a query? I need to get the first 100, then the next hundred, etc until there are no more rows left to retrieve. Someone told me that I should use a cursor to do this. Does anyone have a specific example? Can this be done with a combination of SQL/JDBC?
Thanks in advance...bbetta

if you are talking about limiting the number of rows to be returned to the calling program to a managable number of rowa ...
for example the result set size would be 5000 rows and you want to get them in batches of 50 or 100 ..
see the attached link :
JDBC Code Templates
http://technet.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/templates.htm#BatchSize
if you want the server side transaction to only return the first 50 or 100 rows even though the result set has more ... then
another approach is required -- possibly as suggested above ...

Get Number of rows from a sql query.

I am reading data from a sql query in a BLS transaction and I would like to know the number of rows returned.
Is there an easy way to do this without looping through the table?
Thanks Jasper

Hi Jasper,
You can use the XPATH count function similar to this:
GetTagList.Results{count(/Rowsets/Rowset/Row)}

How to get thr number of rows of an SQL query in JSTL

hi guys,
can anyone please tell me how do i perform a function which finds out the particular rownumber of an sql query in JSTL.....
the same code in jsp is:
<% plateRSet.getRowNum() %>
how do i do this given plateRset is the var for a given iteration
thanks
rahul

make your result set scrollable...Not such a good idea. With Oracle, the JDBC driver will read and cache all the ResultSet in memory (with other DBMSs/drivers the behavior will probably be different, but you will still have some unnecessary overhead).
You can do the caching yourself if you think it's worth it. If the piece of code you posted is why you need this for, then use a List or Vector and you won't need to know the size upfront.

Get the number of rows affected by update statement

Hi
I'm working on an application that uses OCI as interface against an Oracle database.
I'm trying to find out how i can get the number of rows affected by a query executed with OCIStmtExecute. it is not a select query.
Best regards,

If I run a bulk UPDATE query using OCIBindArrayOfStruct, is there a way I can tell which+ rows successfully updated?
I have a file of records of which 75% of PKs are already in the table and will be updated, the other 25% aren't and should be inserted later. I want to attempt an UPDATE statement using OCIBindArrayOfStruct to execute in bulk and then check which entries in my bulk array successfully updated. If an array entry isn't successfully updated then I will assume it should be inserted and will store it for a Direct Path load later.
Many thanks for any advice you can give as I've been trawling through the docs trying to find a solution for ages now.

Fetching row affected by a query

Hi =)
I've my execQuery method here that returns a ResultSet of results.
I would like to know the rows returned, but I cannot find a count, lenght or size method in the ResultSet class.
�Hoy can i count the number of Rows affected by a query?
public ResultSet execQuery(String consulta)
         * Variables locales
        ResultSet coleccion = null;
        Statement stmt;
         * Creamos statement y ejecutamos consulta
        try {
             stmt = conn.createStatement();
             coleccion = stmt.executeQuery(consulta);
        catch(SQLException ex)
                this.setError(ex.toString());
                return null;
        // Devolvemos filas afectadas
        return coleccion;
   }Thx!

simple answer:
   stmt = conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
   coleccion = stmt.executeQuery(consulta);
   coleccion.last();
   int rowCount = coleccion.getRow();note:
1. Returning a result set is not a good idea.
2. Why you need to know rows number here. i think its useless

ExecuteNonQuery doesnt return number of rows affected when used with PL/SQL

ExecuteNonQuery doesn't return number of rows affected when used with PL/SQL but returns -1. The documentation says ExecuteNonQuery method of OracleCommand returns the number of raws affected but when used with PL/SQL, it returns -1 even the update statement successfully executes and affects multiple records with no exeptions thrown.
However, if ExecuteNonQuery is used with update sql statement in the asp.net code it returns number of rows affected correctly. Does anybody know why ExecuteNonQuery behaves like this?

You can get the rowcount in the stored procedure via SQL%ROWCOUNT and then pass it out as a parameter.
For example:
SQL> create or replace procedure updatesal(v_deptno in number, v_rowsaff out number) as
2 begin
3 update emp set sal = sal * 5 where deptno = v_deptno;
4 v_rowsaff := SQL%ROWCOUNT;
5 end;
6 /
Procedure created.Cheers

Number of rows returned in a query

Is there a way to get the number of rows returned from a query without itterating through the itterator?
Thanks,
Yon

No.
Because rows are not all returned until you start interating.
Some times I have seen people do a count query before the normal query, this helps out if you need a count to set things up.

How to get number of rows return in SELECT query

i'm very new in java, i have a question:
- How to get number of rows return in SELECT query?
(i use SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC and everything are done, i only want to know problems above)
Thanks.

make the result set scroll insensitve, do rs.last(), get the row num, and call rs.beforeFirst(), then you can process the result set like you currently do.
         String sql = "select * from testing";
         PreparedStatement ps =
          con.prepareStatement(sql,ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
         ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
         rs.last();
         System.out.println("Row count = " + rs.getRow());
         rs.beforeFirst();~Tim
NOTE: Ugly, but does the trick.

TELL ME HOW MANY ROWS YOU HAVE IN TABLE?
Because you have only *6 rows* in you column, if you less than 10 rows then it displays only containied/exist rows. nothing much
select ename,empno from emp where rownum < 10;Thanks

How to get row number in the fetch row itself in Sql Query ?

Hi,
i am fetching some rows from a sql query . Is there any way to get row number as well in each row while all rows are fetched ?
like this :
RowNum data1 data2
1 abc ere
2 bnh ioi

Hello
Ofcourse you can get the rownum inside a query, just keep in mind that the rownum is the number of order in which the records were fetched from the table, so if you do an order by, the rownum will not be sequential, unless you query the information in a subquery first.
SELECT rown, col1, col1
FROM table
Or
SELECT rownum, col1, col2
FROM (SELECT col_1, col_2 FROM table ORDER BY col1)

How can I get the number of rows in my sql result, without a loop?

Hello,
I've a problem, I would like to get the number of rows in my sql result without make a loop like :
while (rs.next()){
int number = rs.getRow();
Is there any method to do this, on the first element?
Thx, STeF

If you want to count how many rows are in result set, I dont think you can, but you could always run a count statement for that sql
say your sql is
select field1, field2, field3
from table1, table2
where field4=field5 ......
then you can count the rows this statement returns by
select count(*) from
(say your sql is
select field1, field2, field3
from table1, table2
where field4=field5 ......)
This way you will get the count for just that sql

How does Index fragmentation and statistics affect the sql query performance
Very simple answer, outdated statistics will lead optimizer to create bad plans which in turn will require more resources and this will impact performance. If index is fragmented ( mainly clustered index,holds true for Non clustred as well) time spent in finding
the value will be more as query would have to search fragmented index to look for data, additional spaces will increase search time.

How to retrieve number of rows of a table by jdbc?

can anyone show me a simple snippet of a java code about how to retrieve the number of ROWS in a table?
or even only showing the jdbc command that does this job would be enough.
thanks in advance :)
cheers

1. query for the count, then execute the query
"select count(*) from test" then
"select * from test"
2. create a scrollable ResultSet then
rs.last();
int count = rs.getRow();
rs.beforeFirst();
