I am running a request on a table of records with phpmyadmin, and the results count varies. For example, when showing the results it says “Showing records 1 – (~180,234 )”.
This number changes each time I refresh, and no data is being added or removed.
When I do a SQL request for the record, the result stays the same. Is this an issue with phpMyAdmin?

    For InnoDB tables, from phpMyAdmin’s FAQ:

    phpMyAdmin uses a quick method to get
    the row count, and this method only
    returns an approximate count in the
    case of InnoDB tables. See
    $cfg[‘MaxExactCount’] for a way to
    modify those results, but this could
    have a serious impact on performance.
