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]

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.NAME AS 'TABLE NAME',
    P.[ROWS] AS 'NO OF ROWS'
FROM SYS.TABLES T 
INNER JOIN  SYS.PARTITIONS P ON T.OBJECT_ID=P.OBJECT_ID;

我在http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=21021上找到了一个帮助我的片段:

select t.name TableName, i.rows Records
from sysobjects t, sysindexes i
where t.xtype = 'U' and i.id = t.id and i.indid in (0,1)
order by TableName;

首先想到的是使用sp_msForEachTable

exec sp_msforeachtable 'select count(*) from ?'

但是它没有列出表名，所以可以扩展到

exec sp_msforeachtable 'select parsename(''?'', 1),  count(*) from ?'

这里的问题是，如果数据库有超过100个表，你会得到以下错误消息:

查询已超过最大值 可以的结果集的数目 显示在结果网格中。只有 前100个结果集是 显示在网格中。

所以我最终使用表变量来存储结果

declare @stats table (n sysname, c int)
insert into @stats
    exec sp_msforeachtable 'select parsename(''?'', 1),  count(*) from ?'
select 
    * 
from @stats
order by c desc

我在@Aaron Bertrand提供的答案中添加了记录计数，该答案列出了所有数据库和所有表。

DECLARE @src NVARCHAR(MAX), @sql NVARCHAR(MAX);

SELECT @sql = N'', @src = N' UNION ALL 
SELECT ''$d'' as ''database'', 
    s.name COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI as ''schema'',
    t.name COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI as ''table'' ,
    ind.rows as record_count
  FROM [$d].sys.schemas AS s
  INNER JOIN [$d].sys.tables AS t ON s.[schema_id] = t.[schema_id]
  INNER JOIN [$d].sys.sysindexes AS ind ON t.[object_id] = ind.[id]
  where ind.indid < 2';

SELECT @sql = @sql + REPLACE(@src, '$d', name)
  FROM sys.databases
  WHERE database_id > 4
    AND [state] = 0
    AND HAS_DBACCESS(name) = 1;

SET @sql = STUFF(@sql, 1, 10, CHAR(13) + CHAR(10));

PRINT @sql;
--EXEC sys.sp_executesql @sql;

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。
