What int is returned when Executing a DELETE or UPDATE?

[charlesroddie]

let x =
    use cmd = new SqlCommandProvider<"DELETE FROM...", designTimeConn>(conn)
    cmd.Execute()

x is an int. What does it represent? Number of rows affected? A status code?

@charlesroddie, AFAIR it corresponds to the return value of ExecuteNonQuery, the number of rows impacted by the statement.
