Either you select twice (once with a "select count(1) from ($YourSelectStatement)", then just with $YourSelectStatement), or you use OCIFetchStatement() to fetch all of the results. If you use OCIFetchStatement(), you fetch "everything, every time". If the return value of OCIFetchStatement() is not the number of rows like advertized, you can still count the array. But regardless of that return value, you will still have fetched everything - before you could get at the return value or the array count. > Am I missing something with the OCIFetchStatement function? Is it a bug? I don't know, and I can't test it, because my Oracle is borked at the moment. Regards...
