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.

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。

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。

 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。

简单的方法:

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

结果示例:

+----------------+-----------------+
| TABLE_NAME     | SUM(TABLE_ROWS) |
+----------------+-----------------+
| calls          |            7533 |
| courses        |             179 |
| course_modules |             298 |
| departments    |              58 |
| faculties      |             236 |
| modules        |             169 |
| searches       |           25423 |
| sections       |             532 |
| universities   |              57 |
| users          |           10293 |
+----------------+-----------------+

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.";
