Find Number of Rows in the Last MySQL Query

For this, use the FOUND_ROWS in MySQL. Following is the syntax −

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS TABLE_NAME FROM `information_schema`.tables WHERE TABLE_NAME LIKE "yourValue%" LIMIT yourLimitValue;

Here, I am using the database ‘web’ and I have lots of tables, let’s say which begins from DemoTable29. Let us implement the above syntax to fetch only 4 of such rows −

mysql> SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS TABLE_NAME FROM `information_schema`.tables WHERE TABLE_NAME LIKE "DemoTable29%" LIMIT 4;

This will produce the following output −

+--------------+
| TABLE_NAME   |
+--------------+
| demotable29  |
| demotable290 |
| demotable291 |
| demotable292 |
+--------------+
4 rows in set (0.01 sec)

Here is the query to know the total rows from the last query. We used LIMI4, therefore only 4 rows were visible above −

mysql> select found_rows();

This will produce the following output −

+--------------+
| found_rows() |
+--------------+
| 10           |
+--------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
