Get record count for a specific database

/ Published in: SQL

Highlighted TextExpand

--Specify the name of the database to count in the following line
USE AdventureWorks; --Added by James_DBA
GO

--Code modified from original posting on SQLServerCentral.Com
--URL: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/Miscellaneous/30324/
SELECT o.name AS "Table Name", i.rowcnt AS "Row Count"
FROM sysobjects o, sysindexes i
WHERE i.id = o.id
AND indid IN(0,1)
--This specifies 'user' databases only
AND xtype = 'u' --Added by James_DBA
--This omits the diagrams table of the database
--You may find other system tables will need to be ommitted,
--you would just name them all here using the <> operator
--i.e. o.name <> dtproperties, o.name <> 'sysdiagrams'
AND o.name <> 'sysdiagrams' --Added by James-DBA

--You could also look further into filtering out temp tables,
--or user specified tables
ORDER BY i.rowcnt DESC --I found it more useful to display 
--the results by 'Row Count' Descending
--The original posting suggested to sort by Table name by
--using the following line, instead of the line I use above:
--ORDER BY o.name

--The following line adds up all the rowcount results and places
--the final result into a seperate column (below the first resulting table)
COMPUTE SUM(i.rowcnt); --Added by James_DBA
GO
