Thanks.

I'm not new to SQL, just to postgresql, so I know about the
Count-function ;)

Reason for the question is that I want to know the number of
corresponding rows cause I'm in a developing phase and due to needs to
validate the result the number of rows are important.

Perfekt!

Next question:

what is the command in postresql that matches the DESCRIBE-command in
mysql? That's, to get the fieldnames and additional info about them…

Best regards,
