(count() seems to > be a relatively late addition, given that it occurs last in the IDLs) Hmm.. good point. It is indeed very possible that I wrote that note before we had count(). There is a small performance difference between them though when applied to indexes. Indexes could have multiple entries with the same key (but different primaryKey), in which case count() would have to find all such entries, whereas exists() would only need to find the first. But most of the time count() probably does well enough. / Jonas
