Here’s a quick way to get table row counts for all tables in a database using dynamic SQL, the built-in INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES view, and the “magic” of “XML PATH(”)”:
DECLARE @TABLES TABLE (TableName NVARCHAR(1000))
INSERT @TABLES
SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA + '.' + TABLE_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
DECLARE @SQL NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @SQL = (
SELECT 'SELECT COUNT(*) AS [' + TableName + '] FROM ' + TableName + '; ' + CHAR(10)
FROM @TABLES
ORDER BY TableName
FOR XML PATH('')
)
EXEC sp_executesql @SQL
INSERT @TABLES
SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA + '.' + TABLE_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
DECLARE @SQL NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @SQL = (
SELECT 'SELECT COUNT(*) AS [' + TableName + '] FROM ' + TableName + '; ' + CHAR(10)
FROM @TABLES
ORDER BY TableName
FOR XML PATH('')
)
EXEC sp_executesql @SQL
Hope this helps!
