Help with SQL.

Can someone tell me how I can get the COUNT of the number of rows returned 
by my result set?  My code:
                                getApps =
                                        conn.prepareStatement(
                                                "SELECT COUNT(1) FROM "
                                                        + 
collectionNamePubwrk
                                                        + 
dmd.getCatalogSeparator()
                                                        + appTable
                                                        + " WHERE WGSPICKD 
= "
                                                        + selectDate);
                                rs = getApps.executeQuery();
                                rs.next();

My question is how do I know how many rows were returned using the COUNT 
function?
