Answer / sandeep sutar

Result if count(*), count(1), count(0) will be same.

Howevenr,

When we use count(*) then
first oracle query executer gets all the rows in buffure
cache, including all column and then counts all the rows.
this will impact with less performance.


select count(1) or count(0)
This reduces unwanted I/O by selecting just '1' against all
the rows.


Best practice to getting rowcount of table is

select count(rowid) from table_name;
