Usually it is immediately available after statement execution without
additional query.

For example in PL/PgSQL you can use GET DIAGNOSTICS straight after your SELECT:

SELECT INTO _id, _name, _address id, name, address
FROM users WHERE name <> 'examplename';

GET DIAGNOSTICS _row_count = ROW_COUNT;

In external languages like Perl:

$sth = $dbh->prepare(
"select id, name, address, rowcount as rowcount".
"from users where name<>'examplename'");

$row_count = $sth->execute(...);
