I wonder if this is possible with straight SQL on MySQL. I need to do SELECT COUNT(*) FROM on each table in the database and output results in one result set.
Is it possible to do with just SQL?

There is in fact. You have to use INFORMATION_SCHEMA. In INFORMATION_SCHEMA.tables there’s a column TABLE_ROWS.
