row_counts option [database]

Specifies whether the database will always count the number of rows in a query when it is opened.

Allowed values

On, Off

Default

Off

Scope

Can be set for an individual connection or for the PUBLIC group. Takes effect immediately.

Remarks

If this option is set to Off, the row count is usually only an estimate. If this option is set to On, the row count is always accurate.

Caution

When row_counts is set to On, it may take significantly longer to execute queries. In fact, it will usually cause SQL Anywhere to execute the query twice, doubling the execution time.
