FMDB SQLite question: row count of a query?

Question

does anyone know how to return the count of a query when using FMDB? If I executeQuery @\"select count(*) from sometable were...\" I get an empty FMResultSet back. How can I get

Answer 1

Swift 2 Example

This code snippet will print the count for you.

if let rs = db.executeQuery("SELECT COUNT(*) as Count FROM TABLE_NAME", withArgumentsInArray: nil) {
    while rs.next() {
        print("Total Records:", rs.intForColumn("Count"))
    }
}

If it did not work, a few suggestions:

a) Look for a line in your project that says let database = or var database =. If you find one then change db to database
b) Did you change the TABLE_NAME in the Select statement to whatever your table is called?
