Is there a way for SQL Server Management Studio Express How to list all the non empty tables? I have over 100 tables to go through and check for data.
Try :
WITH TableRows AS ( SELECT SUM(row_count) AS [RowCount], OBJECT_NAME(OBJECT_ID) AS TableName FROM sys.dm_db_partition_stats WHERE index_id = 0 OR index_id = 1 GROUP BY OBJECT_ID ) SELECT * FROM TableRows WHERE [RowCount] > 0
