How To Count Rows with the COUNT(*) Function in MS SQL Server?
Answer:
If you want to count the number of rows, you can use the COUNT(*) function in the SELECT clause. The following tutorial exercise shows you some good examples:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ggl_links
GO
7
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ggl_links
WHERE url LIKE '%glo%'
GO
3
So there are 7 rows in total in table "ggl_links", and 3 rows that have 'glo' as part of their url names.
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ggl_links
GO
7
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ggl_links
WHERE url LIKE '%glo%'
GO
3
So there are 7 rows in total in table "ggl_links", and 3 rows that have 'glo' as part of their url names.
