Actually, I was just wanted to know how many records I had in my
tables for general knowledge. My experience with SQL Server and
Oracle so far has been that such a query usually completes very fast
(SQL Server has a system table you can query if you want, that stores
the approximate number of rows in the table). Perhaps it's due to
the multi-generational architecture of Firebird.
