I did a couple (unscientific) tests and there doesn't seem to be much of a difference. I'd use the COUNT(*) method just because it's more portable, though. ---John Holmes... mysql> select count(id) from status_history where date between 20040101000000 AND 20040501000000; +-----------+ | count(id) | +-----------+ | 27791 | +-----------+ 1 row in set (0.13 sec) mysql> select * from status_history where date between 20040101000000 AND 20040501000000 LIMIT 2000,100; 100 rows in set (0.02 sec) mysql> select SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * from status_history where date between 20040101000000 AND 20040501000000 LIMIT 2000,100; 100 rows in set (0.14 sec) mysql> select found_rows(); +--------------+ | found_rows() | +--------------+ | 27791 | +--------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
