FOUND_ROWS()的用法：
例子：
CREATE PRODURE TEST(IN NAME VARCHAR(20),OUT NUMBER) AS
BEGIN
IF NAME IS NULL OR NAME==‘‘ THEN
SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES;
ELSE
SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE FIRST_NAME LIKE NAME;
END IF;
SELECT FOUND_ROWS() INTO NUMBER;
END;
在命令行中：CALL TEST(‘test‘,@num);
SELECT @num;
就可以查到你上一个查询中的行数；
简单的例子：
mysql> select * from employees limit 10;
