首先想到的是使用sp_msForEachTable

exec sp_msforeachtable 'select count(*) from ?'

但是它没有列出表名，所以可以扩展到

exec sp_msforeachtable 'select parsename(''?'', 1),  count(*) from ?'

这里的问题是，如果数据库有超过100个表，你会得到以下错误消息:

查询已超过最大值 可以的结果集的数目 显示在结果网格中。只有 前100个结果集是 显示在网格中。

所以我最终使用表变量来存储结果

declare @stats table (n sysname, c int)
insert into @stats
    exec sp_msforeachtable 'select parsename(''?'', 1),  count(*) from ?'
select 
    * 
from @stats
order by c desc

查找SQL reference (http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/811017/Fastest-way-to-find-row-count-of-all-tables-in-SQL)中所有表的行数的最快方法

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

如果您使用MySQL >4。X你可以用这个:

select TABLE_NAME, TABLE_ROWS from information_schema.TABLES where TABLE_SCHEMA="test";

请记住，对于某些存储引擎，TABLE_ROWS只是一个近似值。

sp_MSForEachTable 'DECLARE @t AS VARCHAR(MAX); 
SELECT @t = CAST(COUNT(1) as VARCHAR(MAX)) 
+ CHAR(9) + CHAR(9) + ''?'' FROM ? ; PRINT @t'

输出:

如果你使用的是SQL Server 2005及以上版本，你也可以使用这个:

SELECT 
    t.NAME AS TableName,
    i.name as indexName,
    p.[Rows],
    sum(a.total_pages) as TotalPages, 
    sum(a.used_pages) as UsedPages, 
    sum(a.data_pages) as DataPages,
    (sum(a.total_pages) * 8) / 1024 as TotalSpaceMB, 
    (sum(a.used_pages) * 8) / 1024 as UsedSpaceMB, 
    (sum(a.data_pages) * 8) / 1024 as DataSpaceMB
FROM 
    sys.tables t
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
INNER JOIN 
    sys.allocation_units a ON p.partition_id = a.container_id
WHERE 
    t.NAME NOT LIKE 'dt%' AND
    i.OBJECT_ID > 255 AND   
    i.index_id <= 1
GROUP BY 
    t.NAME, i.object_id, i.index_id, i.name, p.[Rows]
ORDER BY 
    object_name(i.object_id) 

在我看来，它比sp_msforeachtable输出更容易处理。

你可以试试这个:

SELECT  OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(ps.object_Id) AS [schemaname],
        OBJECT_NAME(ps.object_id) AS [tablename],
        row_count AS [rows]
FROM sys.dm_db_partition_stats ps
WHERE OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(ps.object_Id) <> 'sys' AND ps.index_id < 2
ORDER BY 
        OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(ps.object_Id),
        OBJECT_NAME(ps.object_id)
