Try This:

SELECT MAX(Row) FROM
(SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY ID DESC) Row FROM USERS) UserQuery

But Count is Best Method.

Its a very basic question but it would be good if anyone can answer with some explanations. When we type select * from dba_users; in sql plus it will show N rows selected and total records whereas when we type select * from employee it would show only records but not the total count.
