What do you think is the FASTEST sql to get the total number of a table with millions of records?Generally speaking 'select count(1) from table' is the quickest way, but it really depends on the database and storage engine you're using. Your best bet is to look at the documentation for the database you're using or find a mailing list for it. -Stut -- http://stut.net/
