How to get the number of rows in a database table with Flutter SQFlite

How do I get the row count of a database table in Flutter. I am using the SQFlite plugin.

I assume that it is similar to Android, but Android has DatabaseUtils.queryNumEntries(db, TABLE_NAME). Does SQFlite have something similar?

I am answering the question to the best of my knowledge below, but I would be glad for a better answer if there is one.

Solution

  • You can use 

    int count = Sqflite.firstIntValue(await db.rawQuery('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table_name'));

    where db is an SQFlite Database.
