Category Count

Is there a way to show the total number of connections/entries in the connections database? So say I have 10 companies in the database, and each one belongs to 5 subcategories -i.e. state, company size, services offered etc. Looking at the total next to each item on the search page it adds up to 50, but if I want a ‘show all’ page and want to put something like Total companies in database %total_connections% is there a way to do this?
