This depends on the interface you are using.

* The psql SQL monitor always reports the number of affected rows
  (it's the 2nd number)

* In DBI "do" returns the number of affected rows.

* In JDBC "executeUpdate" does the same. (By the way, is there a way
  to get the number of rows from a executeQuery without counting them?).
