Paul,

If Microsoft SQL server I can probably the number of deleted rows using @@
variable.
So feature not getting number of rows from FoxPro is unique to Postgres in
my case.
FoxPro allows me use use odbc handle directly but I'm not sure it can help.

Is it possible to get the number of deleted rows in pg/SQL ?
How to create stored procedure which wraps delete command and returns number
of deleted rows as table column?

So I instead of delete I can use

SELECT delete_return_deleted_rows('DELETE FROM mytable WHERE mycondition');

Andrus.
