   int recordCount()
</WRAP>
The ''recordCount()'' method returns the number of records retrieved by the last select statement, or -1 if the database driver does not support the operation. 

If [[v5:reference:adodb_countrecs|$ADODB_COUNTRECS]] is set to true before a query is executed, then the number of records will be retrieved, even if the function has to be emulated by issuing a ''COUNT *'' on the query. This can result in slow responses.
----------------------------
===== Usage =====
<code php>
/*
 * Existing database connection assumed
 */
$result = $db->Execute('SELECT * FROM act');
$recordCount = $result->recordCount();
