Getting rows count for each table in database

Getting rows count for each table in Database in SQL server

Two ways you can retrieve rows count for each table in SQL server.

A) Using SSMS you can know very easily. Follow the steps to generate:

1. Login to SQL server management Studio. Make sure you must login with user having permission for the database.

2. Right click on Database for which you need to know the row count, and select “Reports” -> “Standard Reports” -> “Disk usage by Top tables”

3. It will show the complete details about each table like number rows and data size.

B) Another method is you can run below query to get that:

SELECT t.NAME AS TableName, s.Name AS SchemaName, p.rows, SUM(a.total_pages) * 8 AS TotalSpaceKB, CAST(ROUND(((SUM(a.total_pages) * 8) / 1024.00), 2) AS NUMERIC(36, 2)) AS TotalSpaceMB, SUM(a.used_pages) * 8 AS UsedSpaceKB, CAST(ROUND(((SUM(a.used_pages) * 8) / 1024.00), 2) AS NUMERIC(36, 2)) AS UsedSpaceMB, (SUM(a.total_pages) - SUM(a.used_pages)) * 8 AS UnusedSpaceKB, CAST(ROUND(((SUM(a.total_pages) - SUM(a.used_pages)) * 8) / 1024.00, 2) AS NUMERIC(36, 2)) AS UnusedSpaceMB 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 LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.schemas s ON t.schema_id = s.schema_id WHERE t.NAME NOT LIKE 'dt%' AND t.is_ms_shipped = 0 AND i.OBJECT_ID > 255 GROUP BY t.Name, s.Name, p.Rows ORDER BY TotalSpaceMB DESC, t.Name

Hope this will help someone!!
