The way you show is definitely the wrong approach, as it'll read the entire table. Try:

hi, i am wondering about the perfomance-impact of using cayenne to performing an result-count. currently i am doing something like this, wich is very straight-forward. SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery(Tcomrecherche.class, qualifier); List list = context.performQuery(query); return list.size(); i could also use an SQLTemplate or a named query to perform a COUNT(*) which would be much uglier. i would prefer the first solution, but i think that this operation will take much more work for mysql-db than the direct query. are there some hints on how to handle this? kind regards, peter
