there are methods to keep table counts. Here's one:
Create another table with the table name and a bigint.
update the table with the select count(*) method
On delete and insert trigger for each respective table, insert tablename, +1
and tablename, -1 for inserts and deletes respectively.
Now the sum(rcount) where tablename=:tablename will give you fast table
counts.
Every so often, reconsolidate the table by removing all -1 and +1 entries
and replace them with the select COUNT(*) totals.
