Description:
------------
## To support MSSQL, PHP has a function named:
mssql_rows_affected

http://pl.php.net/manual/pl/function.mssql-rows-affected.php

## The same function for MySQL is called:
mysql_affected_rows

http://pl.php.net/manual/pl/function.mysql-affected-rows.php

## Oracle 8 has:
oci_num_rows

http://pl.php.net/manual/pl/function.oci-num-rows.php

## I guess, functions for other DBs have different names as well. It just brings confussion while rewriting scripts for new environments. Why not to unify them (all functions, not only 'rows-affected') and just select right function for an appropriate DB with it's prefix (in example mssql_*, mysql_*, oci_* and so on..)

Won't happen. We have PDO in PHP 5.1 which implements database access abstraction.
