This is not impossible to get around, but If you would have used Metabase you would not have that problem because Metabase has a function that you may call any time after you execute a select query that returns the number of rows contained in the result set. That is a standard feature of Metabase that works with every database including Oracle. Regards, Manuel Lemos
