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。

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。

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 |
+------------------+-----------------+
8 rows in set (0.01 sec)

下面的代码为所有故事生成选择查询。只需删除最后的“UNION ALL”选择所有结果，并粘贴一个新的查询窗口运行。

SELECT 
concat('select ''', table_name ,''' as TableName, COUNT(*) as RowCount from ' , table_name , ' UNION ALL ')  as TR FROM
information_schema.tables where 
table_schema = 'Database Name'

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。

SELECT SUM(TABLE_ROWS) 
     FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES 
     WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = '{your_db}';

从文档中注意到:对于InnoDB表，行数只是用于SQL优化的粗略估计。您需要使用COUNT(*)来获得精确的计数(成本更高)。
