[Zope] dtml-in: total??

[Edwin Martin]

Hello,

I'm making a generic DTML-method which shows a bar like
AltaVista does:

[ < previous] [1] [2] [3] [4] [next > ]

I need to know the number of rows the database returned.

In appendix A of the Zope book, I see I can use total-name etc.

How can I get the total number of rows, independent of
column names?

Can I do it without rewriting the SQL-queries?

Bye,
Edwin Martin.
