Script that provides the row counts and table names - sql

Question

Maybe you easily said how to I provide table names and row counts?
Pseudo SQL:
for "select tablename from system.Tables" into :tablename
execute "select count(*) from ? into ?" using :tablename, :count
return row(:tablename, :count)
end for
Can you tell me show me this script in T-SQL?

Answer 1

If you're on SQL Server 2005 or newer (you unfortunately didn't specify which version of SQL Server you're using), this query should give you that information:
SELECT
TableName = t.NAME,
TableSchema = s.Name,
RowCounts = p.rows
FROM
sys.tables t
INNER JOIN
sys.schemas s ON t.schema_id = s.schema_id
INNER JOIN
sys.indexes i ON t.OBJECT_ID = i.object_id
INNER JOIN
sys.partitions p ON i.object_id = p.OBJECT_ID AND i.index_id = p.index_id
WHERE
t.is_ms_shipped = 0
GROUP BY
t.NAME, s.Name, p.Rows
ORDER BY
s.Name, t.Name
This produces an output something like (this is from AdventureWorks):
TableName TableSchema RowCounts
AWBuildVersion dbo 1
DatabaseLog dbo 1597
ErrorLog dbo 0
Department HumanResources 16
Employee HumanResources 290
JobCandidate HumanResources 13
Address Person 19614
AddressType Person 6
... and so on......

Answer 2

SELECT
t.NAME AS TableName, p.[Rows] FROM
sys.tables t INNER JOIN
sys.partitions p ON t.object_id = p.OBJECT_ID GROUP BY
t.NAME, p.[Rows] ORDER BY t.NAME

Answer 3

-- Shows all user tables and row counts for the current database
-- Remove OBJECTPROPERTY function call to include system objects
SELECT o.NAME,
i.rowcnt
FROM sysindexes AS i
INNER JOIN sysobjects AS o ON i.id = o.id
WHERE i.indid < 2 AND OBJECTPROPERTY(o.id, 'IsMSShipped') = 0
ORDER BY o.NAME

Answer 4

exec sp_MSForEachTable 'SELECT ''?'' as TableName, COUNT(*) as Rows FROM ?'

Answer 5

I have adjusted the answer from marc_c with CTE and displaying it with choice of displaying just the schema you are after.
Should work with SQL Serve 2005 and newer.
WITH CountRowsInTables (Table_Name, Table_Schema, Row_Counts) AS
(
SELECT
TableName = t.Name,
TableSchema = s.Name,
RowCounts = p.Rows
FROM
sys.tables t
INNER JOIN
sys.schemas s ON t.schema_id = s.schema_id
INNER JOIN
sys.indexes i ON t.OBJECT_ID = i.object_id
INNER JOIN
sys.partitions p ON i.object_id = p.OBJECT_ID AND i.index_id = p.index_id
WHERE
t.is_ms_shipped = 0
GROUP BY
s.Name, t.Name, p.Rows
)
SELECT Table_name, Table_Schema, Row_Counts
FROM CountRowsInTables
WHERE Table_Schema = 'Pick_Schema_to_display';

Answer 6

Try this
-- drop table #tmpspace
create table #tmpspace (
name sysname
, rows int
, reserved varchar(50)
, data varchar(50)
, index_size varchar(50)
, unused varchar(50)
)
dbcc updateusage(0) with NO_INFOMSGS
exec sp_msforeachtable 'insert #tmpspace exec sp_spaceused ''?'''
select * from #tmpspace
order by convert(int, substring(reserved, 1, charindex(' ', reserved))) desc, rows desc, name
Works on sql2000 too.
dbcc updateusage might take some time but results will be 100% actual. Skip it if you need speed over accuracy.

Answer 7

This works for me:
SELECT sc.name +'.'+ ta.name TableName
,SUM(pa.rows) RowCnt
FROM sys.tables ta
INNER JOIN sys.partitions pa
ON pa.OBJECT_ID = ta.OBJECT_ID
INNER JOIN sys.schemas sc
ON ta.schema_id = sc.schema_id
WHERE ta.is_ms_shipped = 0 AND pa.index_id IN (1,0)
GROUP BY sc.name,ta.name
ORDER BY SUM(pa.rows) DESC
