I have a database table which could contain many records and I’d like to count the current total in the table. I was going to do a simple:
DataContext.Table.Count(c => c.condition); Until I realized the return type for Count is int. What if the table is to hold more values than can be represented in 32 bits? How can I count them?
Should I be counting them in a different way when we’re talking about that kind of scale?
Use LongCount(), same thing but with a 64 bit result.
