还有一个选择:对于非InnoDB，它使用information_schema中的数据。TABLES(因为它更快)，对于InnoDB -选择count(*)来获得准确的计数。它还会忽略视图。

SET @table_schema = DATABASE();
-- or SET @table_schema = 'my_db_name';

SET GROUP_CONCAT_MAX_LEN=131072;
SET @selects = NULL;

SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(
        'SELECT "', table_name,'" as TABLE_NAME, COUNT(*) as TABLE_ROWS FROM `', table_name, '`'
        SEPARATOR '\nUNION\n') INTO @selects
  FROM information_schema.TABLES
  WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = @table_schema
        AND ENGINE = 'InnoDB'
        AND TABLE_TYPE = "BASE TABLE";

SELECT CONCAT_WS('\nUNION\n',
  CONCAT('SELECT TABLE_NAME, TABLE_ROWS FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = ? AND ENGINE <> "InnoDB" AND TABLE_TYPE = "BASE TABLE"'),
  @selects) INTO @selects;

PREPARE stmt FROM @selects;
EXECUTE stmt USING @table_schema;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;

如果你的数据库有很多大的InnoDB表，计算所有行会花费更多的时间。

像许多其他人一样，我很难用InnoDB在INFORMATION_SCHEMA表上获得准确的值，并且能够通过count()进行查询将无限受益，并且希望在一次查询中完成它。

首先，确保启用大规模group_concats:

SET SESSION group_concat_max_len = 1000000;

然后运行此查询以获得将为数据库运行的结果查询。

SELECT CONCAT('SELECT ', GROUP_CONCAT(table1.count SEPARATOR ',\n')) FROM (
    SELECT concat('(SELECT count(id) AS \'',table_name,' Count\' ','FROM ',table_name,') AS ',table_name,'_Count') AS 'count'
    FROM information_schema.tables 
    WHERE table_schema = '**YOUR_DATABASE_HERE**'
) AS table1

这将生成诸如…

SELECT (SELECT count(id) AS 'table1 Count' FROM table1) AS table1_Count,
   (SELECT count(id) AS 'table2 Count' FROM table2) AS table2_Count,
   (SELECT count(id) AS 'table3 Count' FROM table3) AS table3_Count;

这反过来又产生了以下结果:

*************************** 1. row ***************************
table1_Count: 1
table2_Count: 1
table3_Count: 0

如果你使用数据库information_schema，你可以使用下面的mysql代码(where部分使查询不显示行为空值的表):

SELECT TABLE_NAME, TABLE_ROWS
FROM `TABLES`
WHERE `TABLE_ROWS` >=0

如果需要精确的数字，请使用下面的ruby脚本。你需要Ruby和RubyGems。

安装以下Gems:

$> gem install dbi
$> gem install dbd-mysql

文件:count_table_records.rb

require 'rubygems'
require 'dbi'

db_handler = DBI.connect('DBI:Mysql:database_name:localhost', 'username', 'password')

# Collect all Tables
sql_1 = db_handler.prepare('SHOW tables;')
sql_1.execute
tables = sql_1.map { |row| row[0]}
sql_1.finish

tables.each do |table_name|
  sql_2 = db_handler.prepare("SELECT count(*) FROM #{table_name};")
  sql_2.execute
  sql_2.each do |row|
    puts "Table #{table_name} has #{row[0]} rows."
  end
  sql_2.finish
end

db_handler.disconnect

回到命令行:

$> ruby count_table_records.rb

输出:

Table users has 7328974 rows.

对于这个估算问题，有一点hack/workaround。

Auto_Increment -由于某些原因，如果您在表上设置了自动增量，则此函数将为数据库返回更准确的行数。

在探索为什么显示表信息与实际数据不匹配时发现了这一点。

SELECT
table_schema 'Database',
SUM(data_length + index_length) AS 'DBSize',
SUM(TABLE_ROWS) AS DBRows,
SUM(AUTO_INCREMENT) AS DBAutoIncCount
FROM information_schema.tables
GROUP BY table_schema;


+--------------------+-----------+---------+----------------+
| Database           | DBSize    | DBRows  | DBAutoIncCount |
+--------------------+-----------+---------+----------------+
| Core               |  35241984 |   76057 |           8341 |
| information_schema |    163840 |    NULL |           NULL |
| jspServ            |     49152 |      11 |            856 |
| mysql              |   7069265 |   30023 |              1 |
| net_snmp           |  47415296 |   95123 |            324 |
| performance_schema |         0 | 1395326 |           NULL |
| sys                |     16384 |       6 |           NULL |
| WebCal             |    655360 |    2809 |           NULL |
| WxObs              | 494256128 |  530533 |        3066752 |
+--------------------+-----------+---------+----------------+
9 rows in set (0.40 sec)

然后，您可以轻松地使用PHP或其他工具返回2个数据列的最大值，以给出行数的“最佳估计”。

即。

SELECT
table_schema 'Database',
SUM(data_length + index_length) AS 'DBSize',
GREATEST(SUM(TABLE_ROWS), SUM(AUTO_INCREMENT)) AS DBRows
FROM information_schema.tables
GROUP BY table_schema;

Auto Increment将始终是+1 *(表数)行，但即使有4000个表和300万行，这也是99.9%的准确性。比估计的行数好多了。

这样做的好处是，performance_schema中返回的行计数也会被擦除，因为greatest对null无效。但是，如果没有带有自动递增功能的表，这可能是个问题。

还有一个选择:对于非InnoDB，它使用information_schema中的数据。TABLES(因为它更快)，对于InnoDB -选择count(*)来获得准确的计数。它还会忽略视图。

SET @table_schema = DATABASE();
-- or SET @table_schema = 'my_db_name';

SET GROUP_CONCAT_MAX_LEN=131072;
SET @selects = NULL;

SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(
        'SELECT "', table_name,'" as TABLE_NAME, COUNT(*) as TABLE_ROWS FROM `', table_name, '`'
        SEPARATOR '\nUNION\n') INTO @selects
  FROM information_schema.TABLES
  WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = @table_schema
        AND ENGINE = 'InnoDB'
        AND TABLE_TYPE = "BASE TABLE";

SELECT CONCAT_WS('\nUNION\n',
  CONCAT('SELECT TABLE_NAME, TABLE_ROWS FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = ? AND ENGINE <> "InnoDB" AND TABLE_TYPE = "BASE TABLE"'),
  @selects) INTO @selects;

PREPARE stmt FROM @selects;
EXECUTE stmt USING @table_schema;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
