If there's already lots there, one more won't matter much...

Be warned: The number of rows could change between one page and the next
if your database is edited online "live"...

Be sure you are planning for that possibility.

Doing an extra "SELECT" to get the current row count is not a huge
performance loss: Far less than opening the connection in the first
place, so if you are already connected to the database in subsequent
pages, go ahead an do the count again.
