Re: SQL syntax rowcount value as an extra column in the result set

Hi,
I don't think so.
Oracle -
SQL> select count(*) over () as ROWCOUNT , first_name from people;

ROWCOUNT FIRST_NAME
----------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------
6 Mary
6 Mary
6 John
6 John
6 John
6 Jacob

6 rows selected.

PostgreSQL
postgres=# select count(*) over () as ROWCOUNT , first_name from people;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "over"
LINE 1: select count(*) over () as ROWCOUNT , first_name from people...

There is no such version.
The current version is 8.4.3
