I know this is not the purpose of views but I'd like to use it to count nodes. I don't now how to build db queries and I really love the powerful of views for filter exactly what kind of nodes you want to count.

So, my questions are:

1. Is there any way to force null output for views and just get a counter from their results?
2. Could be this a good solution or would it affect the site performance?

Regards... and happy Christmas!

Try the views calc module, perhaps. Views doesn't really do counting other than as summary queries (Which might do what you want as well) when an argument is not present.
