Description

The getLength( ) method returns an integer that contains the number of rows in the RecordSet object. This length is always be one more than the highest index number in the recordset. For example, a recordset that has 10 rows with index numbers from to 9 has a length of 10 .

The length is typically used to loop through all records in a recordset, such as:
