这对我很有效

SELECT schemaname,relname,n_live_tup FROM pg_stat_user_tables ORDER BY n_live_tup DESC;

对于那些试图评估他们需要哪一个Heroku计划，又不能等待Heroku的慢行计数器刷新的人来说，一个简单实用的答案是:

基本上你想在psql中运行\dt，将结果复制到你最喜欢的文本编辑器中(它看起来像这样:

 public | auth_group                     | table | axrsosvelhutvw
 public | auth_group_permissions         | table | axrsosvelhutvw
 public | auth_permission                | table | axrsosvelhutvw
 public | auth_user                      | table | axrsosvelhutvw
 public | auth_user_groups               | table | axrsosvelhutvw
 public | auth_user_user_permissions     | table | axrsosvelhutvw
 public | background_task                | table | axrsosvelhutvw
 public | django_admin_log               | table | axrsosvelhutvw
 public | django_content_type            | table | axrsosvelhutvw
 public | django_migrations              | table | axrsosvelhutvw
 public | django_session                 | table | axrsosvelhutvw
 public | exercises_assignment           | table | axrsosvelhutvw

)，然后运行regex搜索并替换，如下所示:

^[^|]*\|\s+([^|]*?)\s+\| table \|.*$

to:

select '\1', count(*) from \1 union/g

这将会给你一个非常类似的结果:

select 'auth_group', count(*) from auth_group union
select 'auth_group_permissions', count(*) from auth_group_permissions union
select 'auth_permission', count(*) from auth_permission union
select 'auth_user', count(*) from auth_user union
select 'auth_user_groups', count(*) from auth_user_groups union
select 'auth_user_user_permissions', count(*) from auth_user_user_permissions union
select 'background_task', count(*) from background_task union
select 'django_admin_log', count(*) from django_admin_log union
select 'django_content_type', count(*) from django_content_type union
select 'django_migrations', count(*) from django_migrations union
select 'django_session', count(*) from django_session
;

(您需要删除最后一个联合，并手动在末尾添加分号)

在psql中运行它，就完成了。

            ?column?            | count
--------------------------------+-------
 auth_group_permissions         |     0
 auth_user_user_permissions     |     0
 django_session                 |  1306
 django_content_type            |    17
 auth_user_groups               |   162
 django_admin_log               |  9106
 django_migrations              |    19
[..]

不确定bash中的答案对您来说是否可以接受，但FWIW…

PGCOMMAND=" psql -h localhost -U fred -d mydb -At -c \"
            SELECT   table_name
            FROM     information_schema.tables
            WHERE    table_type='BASE TABLE'
            AND      table_schema='public'
            \""
TABLENAMES=$(export PGPASSWORD=test; eval "$PGCOMMAND")

for TABLENAME in $TABLENAMES; do
    PGCOMMAND=" psql -h localhost -U fred -d mydb -At -c \"
                SELECT   '$TABLENAME',
                         count(*) 
                FROM     $TABLENAME
                \""
    eval "$PGCOMMAND"
done

这里有一个更简单的方法。

tables="$(echo '\dt' | psql -U "${PGUSER}" | tail -n +4 | head -n-2 | tr -d ' ' | cut -d '|' -f2)"
for table in $tables; do
printf "%s: %s\n" "$table" "$(echo "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $table;" | psql -U "${PGUSER}" | tail -n +3 | head -n-2 | tr -d ' ')"
done

输出应该如下所示

auth_group: 0
auth_group_permissions: 0
auth_permission: 36
auth_user: 2
auth_user_groups: 0
auth_user_user_permissions: 0
authtoken_token: 2
django_admin_log: 0
django_content_type: 9
django_migrations: 22
django_session: 0
mydata_table1: 9011
mydata_table2: 3499

你可以根据需要更新psql -U "${PGUSER}"部分来访问你的数据库

注意，head -n-2语法可能在macOS中不起作用，你可以使用不同的实现

在CentOS 7下的psql (PostgreSQL) 11.2上测试

如果你想按表排序，那就用sort来包装它

for table in $tables; do
printf "%s: %s\n" "$table" "$(echo "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $table;" | psql -U "${PGUSER}" | tail -n +3 | head -n-2 | tr -d ' ')"
done | sort -k 2,2nr

输出;

mydata_table1: 9011
mydata_table2: 3499
auth_permission: 36
django_migrations: 22
django_content_type: 9
authtoken_token: 2
auth_user: 2
auth_group: 0
auth_group_permissions: 0
auth_user_groups: 0
auth_user_user_permissions: 0
django_admin_log: 0
django_session: 0

摘自我在GregSmith的回答中的评论，使其更具可读性:

with tbl as (
  SELECT table_schema,table_name 
  FROM information_schema.tables
  WHERE table_name not like 'pg_%' AND table_schema IN ('public')
)
SELECT 
  table_schema, 
  table_name, 
  (xpath('/row/c/text()', 
    query_to_xml(format('select count(*) AS c from %I.%I', table_schema, table_name), 
    false, 
    true, 
    '')))[1]::text::int AS rows_n 
FROM tbl ORDER BY 3 DESC;

感谢@ a_horis_with_no_name

下面是一个解决方案，它不需要函数来获得每个表的精确计数:

select table_schema, 
       table_name, 
       (xpath('/row/cnt/text()', xml_count))[1]::text::int as row_count
from (
  select table_name, table_schema, 
         query_to_xml(format('select count(*) as cnt from %I.%I', table_schema, table_name), false, true, '') as xml_count
  from information_schema.tables
  where table_schema = 'public' --<< change here for the schema you want
) t

query_to_xml将运行传递的SQL查询并返回带有结果的XML(该表的行数)。外层xpath()将从该xml中提取计数信息并将其转换为数字

实际上并不需要派生表，但可以使xpath()更容易理解——否则整个query_to_xml()将需要传递给xpath()函数。
