I'm looking for a way to see how many rows were UPDATEd. I Googled a bit and found that if I were using pl/pgsql I could use 'GET DIAGNOSTICS'. But I'm not using pl/pgsql. Is there some other way I could find out how many rows were affected by the last statement in my transaction?

For what it's worth, a Perl script is doing this using the Pg module. I didn't see anything in the Pg man page describing this. It does cover INSERT and DELETE by using "$cmdStatus = $result->cmdStatus", but not UPDATE.

Any suggestions?
