Script that provides the row counts and table names

Question

Maybe you easily said how to I provide table names and row counts?

Pseudo SQL:

for \"select tablename from system.Tables\" into :tablename
  execute \"se         


        

Answer 1

Try this

-- drop table #tmpspace
create table #tmpspace (
        name sysname
        , rows int
        , reserved varchar(50)
        , data varchar(50)
        , index_size varchar(50)
        , unused varchar(50)
        )

dbcc updateusage(0) with NO_INFOMSGS

exec sp_msforeachtable 'insert #tmpspace exec sp_spaceused ''?'''

select * from #tmpspace
order by convert(int, substring(reserved, 1, charindex(' ', reserved))) desc, rows desc, name

Works on sql2000 too.

dbcc updateusage might take some time but results will be 100% actual. Skip it if you need speed over accuracy.
