 ## Results
 
 The return value of `execute()` is of type `tao::pq::result`.
-This class can be used in one of two ways, depending on whether the kind of SQL statement it is a result of.
 
-For a `SELECT` statement the result will contain the result set and its description.
-
-For `UPDATE`, `INSERT`, `DELETE` and other statements that operate on rows the result will contain the number of affected rows.
-
-All other statements like `CREATE TABLE` will behave like a statement that affected zero rows.
-
-The number of affected rows can be queried as follows.
+For statements like `SELECT` or `UPDATE` the result can be used to query the number of affected or returned rows.
+A complete list of statements for which this number is available can be found in the [PostgreSQL documentation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/libpq-exec.html), see `PQcmdTuples()`.

 Note that `tao::pq::result` has value semantics and is relatively cheap to copy.
