ROW_COUNT Function

Description

The ROW_COUNT function returns the number of rows updated (UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE) by the previous statement. Note that the ROW_COUNT function execution area at the SQL level is limited to the client session in which the SQL was created. If this function is called after executing SQL with the ;run or ;xrun command, it returns -1.
