Number of rows in Oracle SQL Select?

Question

I need to know how many records were returned in a select in oracle. Currently, I do two queries:

SELECT COUNT(ITEM_ID) FROM MY_ITEMS;

SELECT * FROM MY_ITEMS;
         


        

Answer 1

This ought to do the trick.

WITH 
base AS
(
    SELECT *
    FROM MY_ITEMS
)
SELECT (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM base) kount,
       base.*
FROM base
