Can I use SELECT COUNT(*) from tableName in a C program?
If so, how do I fetch the results? I don’t want to use a loop because I only want the number of rows, not the data.
When you execute the query
SELECT COUNT(*) from tableName, the result is a table like with other queries, but that result table has only one column and only one row, which contains the count value.Call
sqlite3_prepare_v2normally, thensqlite3_step, which steps to the first (and only) row.Call
sqlite3_column_intto get the value.The next call to
sqlite3_stepwill then returnSQLITE_DONE.
