-    session.execute(stmt)

 Above, the :meth:`_dml.Update.execution_options` method may be used to
 establish execution-time options such as "synchronize_session".
 
+The result object returned is an instance of :class:`_result.CursorResult`; to
+retrieve the number of rows matched by any UPDATE or DELETE statement, use
+:attr:`_result.CursorResult.rowcount`::
+
+    num_rows_matched = result.rowcount
+
 DELETEs work in the same way as UPDATE except there is no "values / set"
 clause established.  When synchronize_session is used, matching objects
 within the :class:`_orm.Session` will be marked as deleted and expunged.
