And mysql has to send request, wait for mysql server to select all rows, count them and than return result. Looping thru array is 1000x times faster (literally).


Just loop thru your houses and skip unused cells/rows. My simple trick is to check if houses entrance Z is 0 or if label/icon is invalid. Simple example:

pawn Код:

stock CountHouses()
{
    new count = 0;
    for(new i = 0; i < MAX_HOUSES; i++)
    {
        if(HouseInfo[i][EntZ] != 0.0) count++;
    }
    return count;
}

While EntZ should be float and comparing floats is discouraged feel free to do it in pawn.
