如果你知道表的数量和它们的名称，并且假设它们每个都有主键，你可以使用交叉连接结合COUNT(distinct [column])来获得来自每个表的行:

SELECT 
   COUNT(distinct t1.id) + 
   COUNT(distinct t2.id) + 
   COUNT(distinct t3.id) AS totalRows
FROM firstTable t1, secondTable t2, thirdTable t3;

下面是一个SQL Fiddle的例子。

这个存储过程列出表，统计记录，并在最后生成记录的总数。

添加此过程后运行:

CALL `COUNT_ALL_RECORDS_BY_TABLE` ();

-

过程:

DELIMITER $$

CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`127.0.0.1` PROCEDURE `COUNT_ALL_RECORDS_BY_TABLE`()
BEGIN
DECLARE done INT DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE TNAME CHAR(255);

DECLARE table_names CURSOR for 
    SELECT table_name FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = DATABASE();

DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done = 1;

OPEN table_names;   

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS TCOUNTS;
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE TCOUNTS 
  (
    TABLE_NAME CHAR(255),
    RECORD_COUNT INT
  ) ENGINE = MEMORY; 


WHILE done = 0 DO

  FETCH NEXT FROM table_names INTO TNAME;

   IF done = 0 THEN
    SET @SQL_TXT = CONCAT("INSERT INTO TCOUNTS(SELECT '" , TNAME  , "' AS TABLE_NAME, COUNT(*) AS RECORD_COUNT FROM ", TNAME, ")");

    PREPARE stmt_name FROM @SQL_TXT;
    EXECUTE stmt_name;
    DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt_name;  
  END IF;

END WHILE;

CLOSE table_names;

SELECT * FROM TCOUNTS;

SELECT SUM(RECORD_COUNT) AS TOTAL_DATABASE_RECORD_CT FROM TCOUNTS;

END

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)。

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

海报想要行计数，但没有指定哪个表引擎。对于InnoDB，我只知道一种方法，那就是计数。

我是这样摘土豆的:

# Put this function in your bash and call with:
# rowpicker DBUSER DBPASS DBNAME [TABLEPATTERN]
function rowpicker() {
    UN=$1
    PW=$2
    DB=$3
    if [ ! -z "$4" ]; then
        PAT="LIKE '$4'"
        tot=-2
    else
        PAT=""
        tot=-1
    fi
    for t in `mysql -u "$UN" -p"$PW" "$DB" -e "SHOW TABLES $PAT"`;do
        if [ $tot -lt 0 ]; then
            echo "Skipping $t";
            let "tot += 1";
        else
            c=`mysql -u "$UN" -p"$PW" "$DB" -e "SELECT count(*) FROM $t"`;
            c=`echo $c | cut -d " " -f 2`;
            echo "$t: $c";
            let "tot += c";
        fi;
    done;
    echo "total rows: $tot"
}

我对此没有任何断言，只是说这是一种非常丑陋但有效的方法，可以获得数据库中每个表中存在多少行，而不需要使用表引擎，也不需要拥有安装存储过程的权限，也不需要安装ruby或php。是的，生锈了。是的，这很重要。Count(*)是准确的。

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，

| func             |               0 |
