How to view the number of rows in all tables in SQL Server?
To view the number of rows in all tables within a SQL Server database, you can use the following query:
SELECT
t.NAME AS TableName,
SUM(p.rows) AS RowCounts
FROM
sys.tables t
INNER JOIN
sys.partitions p ON t.object_id = p.object_id
WHERE
t.is_ms_shipped = 0
GROUP BY
t.NAME
ORDER BY
RowCounts DESC;
This query will return the names of each table in the database, as well as the number of rows. Please note that this query will only return user-created tables, system tables will be excluded.
