Re: rowcount not available? [NC]

Hi,
this is a FreeTDS-mailing list, not a SQLServer-forum :-)

But: "set rowcount nn" is something completly different then "@@ROWCOUNT".
"set rowcount 10" limits the number of returned rows when doing a SELECT. If a table has 20 rows then only 10 rows will be returned.
"@@ROWCOUNT" is set by SQLServer and contains the number of affected rows, i.e. with UPDATE
Maybe look at MS doc to see
Mfg Alexander

Betreff: [freetds] rowcount not available? [NC]



Hi,

Me again, anybody have any clues? When I execute select @@ROWCOUNT I get
the correct count that is to say. Why would the rowcount not be available ?

Hi guys,

I have come across an interesting behaviour with SQL Server 2008, when you
use the instruction: "set rowcount nn" such as "set rowcount 10" then
DBCOUNT(dbproc) returns -1.

Anyone have any ideas???

Thanks,

Cedric
