Does Mysql have an equivalent to @@ROWCOUNT like in mssql?

How can I get row count values in MySQL as @@ROWCOUNT does in mssql?

Answer

For SELECTs you can use the FOUND_ROWS construct (documented here):

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS something FROM your_table WHERE whatever;
SELECT FOUND_ROWS( ) ;

which will return the number of rows in the last SELECT query (or if the first query has a LIMIT clause, it returns the number of rows there would’ve been without the LIMIT).

For UPDATE/DELETE/INSERT, it’s the ROW_COUNT construct

INSERT INTO your_table VALUES (1,2,3);
SELECT ROW_COUNT();

which will return the number of affected rows.
