Read the original article
Hit count: 196
t-sql
|sql-server
If I have a SQL statement such as:
SELECT TOP 5
*
FROM Person
WHERE Name LIKE 'Sm%'
ORDER BY ID DESC
PRINT @@ROWCOUNT
-- shows '5'
Is there anyway to get a value like @@ROWCOUNT that is the actual count of all of the rows that match the query without re-issuing the query again sans the TOP 5?
The actual problem is a much more complex and intensive query that performs beautifully since we can use TOP n or SET ROWCOUNT n but then we cannot get a total count which is required to display paging information in the UI correctly. Presently we have to re-issue the query with a @Count = COUNT(ID) instead of *.
