如果你使用的是SQL Server 2005及以上版本，你也可以使用这个:

SELECT 
    t.NAME AS TableName,
    i.name as indexName,
    p.[Rows],
    sum(a.total_pages) as TotalPages, 
    sum(a.used_pages) as UsedPages, 
    sum(a.data_pages) as DataPages,
    (sum(a.total_pages) * 8) / 1024 as TotalSpaceMB, 
    (sum(a.used_pages) * 8) / 1024 as UsedSpaceMB, 
    (sum(a.data_pages) * 8) / 1024 as DataSpaceMB
FROM 
    sys.tables t
INNER JOIN      
    sys.indexes i ON t.OBJECT_ID = i.object_id
INNER JOIN 
    sys.partitions p ON i.object_id = p.OBJECT_ID AND i.index_id = p.index_id
INNER JOIN 
    sys.allocation_units a ON p.partition_id = a.container_id
WHERE 
    t.NAME NOT LIKE 'dt%' AND
    i.OBJECT_ID > 255 AND   
    i.index_id <= 1
GROUP BY 
    t.NAME, i.object_id, i.index_id, i.name, p.[Rows]
ORDER BY 
    object_name(i.object_id) 

在我看来，它比sp_msforeachtable输出更容易处理。

如图所示，这将返回正确的计数，而使用元数据表的方法将只返回估计值。

    CREATE PROCEDURE ListTableRowCounts 
    AS 
    BEGIN 
        SET NOCOUNT ON 

        CREATE TABLE #TableCounts
        ( 
            TableName VARCHAR(500), 
            CountOf INT 
        ) 

        INSERT #TableCounts
            EXEC sp_msForEachTable 
                'SELECT PARSENAME(''?'', 1), 
                COUNT(*) FROM ? WITH (NOLOCK)' 

        SELECT TableName , CountOf 
            FROM #TableCounts
            ORDER BY TableName 

        DROP TABLE #TableCounts
    END
    GO

接受的答案在Azure SQL上不适合我，这里有一个，它非常快，完全符合我的要求:

select t.name, s.row_count
from sys.tables t
join sys.dm_db_partition_stats s
  ON t.object_id = s.object_id
    and t.type_desc = 'USER_TABLE'
    and t.name not like '%dss%'
    and s.index_id = 1
order by s.row_count desc

Shnugo的答案是唯一一个工作在Azure的Externa表。(1) Azure SQL根本不支持sp_MSforeachtable;External表的partitions总是0。

我想分享对我有效的方法

SELECT
      QUOTENAME(SCHEMA_NAME(sOBJ.schema_id)) + '.' + QUOTENAME(sOBJ.name) AS [TableName]
      , SUM(sdmvPTNS.row_count) AS [RowCount]
FROM
      sys.objects AS sOBJ
      INNER JOIN sys.dm_db_partition_stats AS sdmvPTNS
            ON sOBJ.object_id = sdmvPTNS.object_id
WHERE 
      sOBJ.type = 'U'
      AND sOBJ.is_ms_shipped = 0x0
      AND sdmvPTNS.index_id < 2
GROUP BY
      sOBJ.schema_id
      , sOBJ.name
ORDER BY [TableName]
GO

数据库托管在Azure中，最终结果是:

来源:https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2537/sql-server-row-count-for-all-tables-in-a-database/

select T.object_id, T.name, I.indid, I.rows 
  from Sys.tables T 
  left join Sys.sysindexes I 
    on (I.id = T.object_id and (indid =1 or indid =0 ))
 where T.type='U'

这里indid=1表示群集索引，而indid=0表示堆索引
