大多数其他答案建议使用INFORMATION_SCHEMA。但是在MySQL 8中它已经不存在了。行数已移动到INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TABLESTATS。

你可以用以下方法查询:

SELECT *
FROM information_schema.INNODB_TABLESTATS
WHERE NAME LIKE "YOUR_DB_NAME/%"
ORDER BY NUM_ROWS DESC

请注意，这仍然是一个近似值，像以前一样，不是一个确切的数字。

这是我如何使用PHP计算表和所有记录:

$dtb = mysql_query("SHOW TABLES") or die (mysql_error());
$jmltbl = 0;
$jml_record = 0;
$jml_record = 0;

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($dtb)) { 
    $sql1 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM " . $row[0]);            
    $jml_record = mysql_num_rows($sql1);            
    echo "Table: " . $row[0] . ": " . $jml_record record . "<br>";      
    $jmltbl++;
    $jml_record += $jml_record;
}

echo "--------------------------------<br>$jmltbl Tables, $jml_record > records.";

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

这就是你所需要的。

基于上面@Nathan的回答，但不需要“删除最终的联合”，并带有对输出进行排序的选项，我使用以下SQL。它生成另一个SQL语句，然后运行:

select CONCAT( 'select * from (\n', group_concat( single_select SEPARATOR ' UNION\n'), '\n ) Q order by Q.exact_row_count desc') as sql_query
from (
    SELECT CONCAT(
        'SELECT "', 
        table_name, 
        '" AS table_name, COUNT(1) AS exact_row_count
        FROM `', 
        table_schema,
        '`.`',
        table_name, 
        '`'
    ) as single_select
    FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES 
    WHERE table_schema = 'YOUR_SCHEMA_NAME'
      and table_type = 'BASE TABLE'
) Q 

您确实需要一个足够大的group_concat_max_len服务器变量的值，但是从MariaDb 10.2.4开始，它应该默认为1M。

我只是跑:

show table status;

这将为您提供每个表的行数以及其他一些信息。 我曾经使用上面选择的答案，但这要简单得多。

我不确定这是否适用于所有版本，但我使用5.5与InnoDB引擎。

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 |
