Hi all,
I have a little problem,

I would like to execute

select * from table

and i would like to retrieve the number of records without make

select count(*) from table

I could use directly the table instead of select, and in this this
case I'm searching for
something like the reltuples field in the pg_class table, but I need
this value in real time.

Any suggestion?

Enrico
