%SQLrows

While executing INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE statements you can see the number of rows effected displayed at the bottom of the sqldeveloper, as shown in the screenshot below.


To capture the number of effected rows, during conversion/interface run, to properly audit the actual number of rows effected, %SQLrows can be used.

PeopleBooks Definition:

%SQLRows returns the number of rows affected by the most recent UPDATE, DELETE, or INSERT executed through the SQLExec function.

%SQLRows can also be used after SELECT. It returns 0 if no rows are returned, a non-zero value if one or more rows are returned. In this case, the non-zero value does not indicate the total number of rows returned.


This will be useful and handy at times.
