这种方法使用字符串连接来动态生成包含所有表及其计数的语句，就像原始问题中给出的示例:

          SELECT COUNT(*) AS Count,'[dbo].[tbl1]' AS TableName FROM [dbo].[tbl1]
UNION ALL SELECT COUNT(*) AS Count,'[dbo].[tbl2]' AS TableName FROM [dbo].[tbl2]
UNION ALL SELECT...

最后用EXEC执行:

DECLARE @cmd VARCHAR(MAX)=STUFF(
                    (
                        SELECT 'UNION ALL SELECT COUNT(*) AS Count,''' 
                              + QUOTENAME(t.TABLE_SCHEMA) + '.' + QUOTENAME(t.TABLE_NAME) 
                              + ''' AS TableName FROM ' + QUOTENAME(t.TABLE_SCHEMA) + '.' + QUOTENAME(t.TABLE_NAME)
                        FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES AS t
                        WHERE TABLE_TYPE='BASE TABLE'
                        FOR XML PATH('')
                    ),1,10,'');
EXEC(@cmd);

要在SQL Management Studio中获取该信息，右键单击数据库，然后选择Reports—> Standard Reports—> Disk Usage by Table。

sp_MSForEachTable 'DECLARE @t AS VARCHAR(MAX); 
SELECT @t = CAST(COUNT(1) as VARCHAR(MAX)) 
+ CHAR(9) + CHAR(9) + ''?'' FROM ? ; PRINT @t'

输出:

如果您使用MySQL >4。X你可以用这个:

select TABLE_NAME, TABLE_ROWS from information_schema.TABLES where TABLE_SCHEMA="test";

请记住，对于某些存储引擎，TABLE_ROWS只是一个近似值。

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

查找SQL reference (http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/811017/Fastest-way-to-find-row-count-of-all-tables-in-SQL)中所有表的行数的最快方法

SELECT T.name AS [TABLE NAME], I.rows AS [ROWCOUNT] 
    FROM   sys.tables AS T 
       INNER JOIN sys.sysindexes AS I ON T.object_id = I.id 
       AND I.indid < 2 
ORDER  BY I.rows DESC
