Greetings,

I am using a Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 database. In my database there is a
table with 2,700,000 rows. Doing a COUNT(*) on this table in Query Ananlyser
takes 25 minutes. If I try and execute this query using a TADOQuery
component the driver times out. Is there any quicker way of doing this or is
there a quickewr way of getting the row count.

Thanks,

Robert Lancaster
