I'm trying to identify which tables are affected by a data update though an application (developed by others). There are more than 200 tables in the DB and I'd like to avoid checking each of them for changes.
Is there any other way where I can list all table names along with their row count?
select table_name from information_schema.tables
List out all the tables in my DB buy how do I include number of rows as well?
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
See this:
- SQL SERVER – Find Row Count in Table – Find Largest Table in Database.
to get all tables in a database:
select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
to get all columns in a database:
select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.columns
to get all views in a db:
select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES where table_type = 'view'
Posted for completeness.
If you are looking for row count of all tables in all databases (which was what I was looking for) then I found this combination of this and this to work. No idea whether it is optimal or not:
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @AllTables table (DbName sysname,SchemaName sysname, TableName sysname, RowsCount int )
DECLARE
@SQL nvarchar(4000)
SET @SQL='SELECT ''?'' AS DbName, s.name AS SchemaName, t.name AS TableName, p.rows AS RowsCount FROM [?].sys.tables t INNER JOIN sys.schemas s ON t.schema_id=s.schema_id INNER JOIN [?].sys.partitions p ON p.OBJECT_ID = t.OBJECT_ID'
INSERT INTO @AllTables (DbName, SchemaName, TableName, RowsCount)
EXEC sp_msforeachdb @SQL
SET NOCOUNT OFF
SELECT DbName, SchemaName, TableName, SUM(RowsCount), MIN(RowsCount), SUM(1)
FROM @AllTables
WHERE RowsCount > 0
GROUP BY DbName, SchemaName, TableName
ORDER BY DbName, SchemaName, TableName
Try this it's simple and fast
SELECT T.name AS [TABLE NAME], I.rows AS [ROWCOUNT]
FROM sys.tables AS T
INNER JOIN sys.sysindexes AS I ON T.object_id = I.id
AND I.indid < 2 ORDER BY I.rows DESC
