Question

I’m using SQL Server 2005 and would like to know how I can get a list of all tables with the number of records in each.

I know I can get a list of tables using the sys.tables view, but I’m unable to find the count.

Thank you

SELECT      [TableName] = so.name,      [RowCount] = MAX(si.rows)  FROM      sysobjects so,      sysindexes si  WHERE      so.xtype = 'U'      AND      si.id = OBJECT_ID(so.name)  GROUP BY      so.name  ORDER BY      2 DESC
