The FOUND_ROWS SQL Function in MySQL and MariaDB - Number of rows after SELECT

FOUND_ROWSSyntax:FOUND_ROWS()
Return value:INTEGER
Function type:Information function
Function Description

The FOUND_ROWS() function returns either the number of rows from a result of a SELECT statement, or the number of possible rows using the SELECT option SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS if the SELECT statement without LIMIT clause would be executed.

The FOUND_ROWS() function also works with other statements that return result sets, including SHOW, DESC and HELP.

Statements without result sets do not affect FOUND_ROWS(). The previous value is then returned. If there is no previous value, 0 is returned.

After a CALL statement, this function returns the number of rows selected by the last query in the procedure.

How to use the FOUND_ROWS() function in MySQL and MariaDB databases

In MySQL and MariaDB the FOUND_ROWS() function is used to count the number of result rows of a SQL Query to retrieve, or the number of result rows that would be returned by a SELECT query without the LIMIT clause. This can also be used to determine the total number of result rows that match a given condition, even if the original query uses the LIMIT clause to limit the number of rows returned. The function requires no arguments and is usually called immediately after executing a SELECT query, or a SELECT query using the LIMIT clause used with SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS option.

Using SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS and FOUND_ROWS() together can have an impact on performance, especially with large tables, because the database first must calculate the total number of matching rows before applying the LIMIT clause.
