Select count(*) from (select ...) ? See if the query optimizer pipelines that.
Maybe I misunderstand what you are trying to do.
The OP wants the paginated table data and the count. With a single query execution.
In normal SQL you'd use a window function to do this but I don't know if mysql supports that.
Would it work to write the query as a common table expression, then select your columns from that table and join it with a count(*) aggregation of the table?
