  I'm having trouble determining the number of rows in a cursor. Here is a snippet of code:

  DECLARE curPT CURSOR FAST_FORWARD FOR SELECT * FROM PT WHERE cGID = '1234567890'

  OPEN curPT

  PRINT @@ROWCOUNT

  This always prints 0. I know that 2 records exist in table PT.

  @@ROWCOUNT returns the number of rows impacted by the last statement, which in this case is the OPEN. The OPEN didn't impact any results, and that is why you got a zero.

  What you need is a STATIC cursor and @@CURSOR_ROWS

  Good Luck!

  [font="Verdana"]Hi,

  But do u can elaborate its performance degradation? You may know already, and ppl suggests another to this as [highlight]Count()[/highlight] function, but i am unable to fix it up in code.

  But again Count() is also controversial. Any good/excellent alternative!

  Another one was of [highlight]INSENSITIVE[/highlight] .... . but what's its results on performance... !!!

  Thank you.[/font]
