&reftitle.notes;

This function does not return number of rows selected! For SELECT statements this function will return the number of rows, that were fetched to the buffer with `oci_fetch*` functions.

In PHP versions before 5.0.0 you must use `ocirowcount` instead. This name still can be used, it was left as alias of `oci_num_rows` for downwards compatability. This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.
