| Is it ok to drop numRows()?
In the apps that I've written with MDB, I don't think I've ever needed to
use numRows(). I was going to say that numRows() is important when doing
pagination, but even in that case, my "Search" classes just rebuild a
COUNT(*) version of the query to use for calculating total result set
length.
Do most drivers support seek() ? Seems like they do -- e.g.
mysql_data_seek(), mssql_data_seek(), pg_result_seek() -- but maybe that's
only for buffered queries?
