对于这个估算问题，有一点hack/workaround。

Auto_Increment -由于某些原因，如果您在表上设置了自动增量，则此函数将为数据库返回更准确的行数。

在探索为什么显示表信息与实际数据不匹配时发现了这一点。

SELECT
table_schema 'Database',
SUM(data_length + index_length) AS 'DBSize',
SUM(TABLE_ROWS) AS DBRows,
SUM(AUTO_INCREMENT) AS DBAutoIncCount
FROM information_schema.tables
GROUP BY table_schema;


+--------------------+-----------+---------+----------------+
| Database           | DBSize    | DBRows  | DBAutoIncCount |
+--------------------+-----------+---------+----------------+
| Core               |  35241984 |   76057 |           8341 |
| information_schema |    163840 |    NULL |           NULL |
| jspServ            |     49152 |      11 |            856 |
| mysql              |   7069265 |   30023 |              1 |
| net_snmp           |  47415296 |   95123 |            324 |
| performance_schema |         0 | 1395326 |           NULL |
| sys                |     16384 |       6 |           NULL |
| WebCal             |    655360 |    2809 |           NULL |
| WxObs              | 494256128 |  530533 |        3066752 |

9 rows in set (0.40 sec)

然后，您可以轻松地使用PHP或其他工具返回2个数据列的最大值，以给出行数的“最佳估计”。

即。

SELECT
table_schema 'Database',
SUM(data_length + index_length) AS 'DBSize',
GREATEST(SUM(TABLE_ROWS), SUM(AUTO_INCREMENT)) AS DBRows
FROM information_schema.tables
GROUP BY table_schema;

Auto Increment将始终是+1 *(表数)行，但即使有4000个表和300万行，这也是99.9%的准确性。比估计的行数好多了。

这样做的好处是，performance_schema中返回的行计数也会被擦除，因为greatest对null无效。但是，如果没有带有自动递增功能的表，这可能是个问题。

如果你使用数据库information_schema，你可以使用下面的mysql代码(where部分使查询不显示行为空值的表):

SELECT TABLE_NAME, TABLE_ROWS
FROM `TABLES`
WHERE `TABLE_ROWS` >=0

简单的方法:

SELECT
  TABLE_NAME, SUM(TABLE_ROWS)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = '{Your_DB}'
GROUP BY TABLE_NAME;

结果示例:

+----------------+-----------------+
| TABLE_NAME     | SUM(TABLE_ROWS) |
+----------------+-----------------+
| calls          |            7533 |
| courses        |             179 |
| course_modules |             298 |
| departments    |              58 |
| faculties      |             236 |
| modules        |             169 |
| searches       |           25423 |
| sections       |             532 |
| universities   |              57 |
| users          |           10293 |
+----------------+-----------------+

像@Venkatramanan和其他人一样，我找到了INFORMATION_SCHEMA。TABLES不可靠(使用InnoDB, MySQL 5.1.44)，每次运行时给出不同的行数，即使是在静态表上。这里有一种生成大型SQL语句的相对hack(但是灵活/适应性强)的方法，您可以将其粘贴到新的查询中，而不需要安装Ruby宝石之类的东西。

SELECT CONCAT(
    'SELECT "', 
    table_name, 
    '" AS table_name, COUNT(*) AS exact_row_count FROM `', 
    table_schema,
    '`.`',
    table_name, 
    '` UNION '
) 
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES 
WHERE table_schema = '**my_schema**';

它产生如下输出:

SELECT "func" AS table_name, COUNT(*) AS exact_row_count FROM my_schema.func UNION                         
SELECT "general_log" AS table_name, COUNT(*) AS exact_row_count FROM my_schema.general_log UNION           
SELECT "help_category" AS table_name, COUNT(*) AS exact_row_count FROM my_schema.help_category UNION       
SELECT "help_keyword" AS table_name, COUNT(*) AS exact_row_count FROM my_schema.help_keyword UNION         
SELECT "help_relation" AS table_name, COUNT(*) AS exact_row_count FROM my_schema.help_relation UNION       
SELECT "help_topic" AS table_name, COUNT(*) AS exact_row_count FROM my_schema.help_topic UNION             
SELECT "host" AS table_name, COUNT(*) AS exact_row_count FROM my_schema.host UNION                         
SELECT "ndb_binlog_index" AS table_name, COUNT(*) AS exact_row_count FROM my_schema.ndb_binlog_index UNION 

复制粘贴，除了最后一个UNION，可以得到漂亮的输出，

+------------------+-----------------+
| table_name       | exact_row_count |
+------------------+-----------------+
| func             |               0 |
| general_log      |               0 |
| help_category    |              37 |
| help_keyword     |             450 |
| help_relation    |             990 |
| help_topic       |             504 |
| host             |               0 |
| ndb_binlog_index |               0 |
+------------------+-----------------+
8 rows in set (0.01 sec)

如果你知道表的数量和它们的名称，并且假设它们每个都有主键，你可以使用交叉连接结合COUNT(distinct [column])来获得来自每个表的行:

SELECT 
   COUNT(distinct t1.id) + 
   COUNT(distinct t2.id) + 
   COUNT(distinct t3.id) AS totalRows
FROM firstTable t1, secondTable t2, thirdTable t3;

下面是一个SQL Fiddle的例子。

这是我获得实际计数的方法(不使用模式)

它更慢，但更准确。

这个过程有两步

获取数据库的表列表。你可以使用它 Mysql -uroot -p mydb -e“显示表” 在这个bash脚本中创建表列表并将其分配给数组变量(与下面的代码一样，用一个空格分隔) 数组=(table1 table2 table3) ${array[@]}中的I 做 echo $我 Mysql -uroot mydb -e "select count(*) from $i" 完成 运行该程序: Chmod +x script.sh;。/ script.sh
