    record count of every table

    Dear All,

    I need to find out the no of records in each table under a particular user and there are around 3000 tables under that user. Now what is the best way to get the tablename and the record count of every table under that user.

    Any hints in this regard.....

    Thanks,

    Regards,

    K.Diwakar

    a long way of doing it, and probba;y not very efficient either, but it works

    set serveroutput on size 200000
    declare
    tabname varchar2(30);
    tempcount number(10);
    cursor tabs is select table_name from tabs;
    tab_record tabs%ROWTYPE;
    begin
    for tab_record in tabs loop
    fetch tabs into tabname;
    exit when tabs%NOTFOUND;
    dbms_output.put_line('Counting from ' ||tabname);
    execute immediate 'select count(*) from '||tabname into tempcount;
    dbms_output.put_line('Count = ' || tempcount);
    dbms_output.put_line('.....................................................');
    end loop;
    end;

    Code:
    Set Head off
    Set Feedback off
    Set Trimspool on
    
    Spool C:\Apps\Base\Count_In_Table.sql
    
    Select 
      'Select Count(*) from '||Table_Name||';'
    From
      DBA_TABLES
    Where
      Owner  =  'SCHEMA_NAME'
    ;
    
    Spool off
    
    Set Head on
    Set Feedback on
    
    Spool C:\Apps\Logs\Count_In_Table.log
    
    @C:\Apps\Base\Count_In_Table.sql
    
    Spool off

    the one problem is that wont give you the table name, just a count from it

    A better way is to query user_tables.

    This will solve the issue completely.

    Just got that idea..

    If you Analyze all your tables with COMPUTE STATISTICS (rather than ESTIMATE) then you can look at the NUM_ROWS field in your USER_TABLES (or DBA_TABLES) to see the table_name and the row count. If you are using CBO it might even help your overall performance to have current statistics.

    Better still, use DBMS_STATS and do it in parallel:


    EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_SCHEMA_STATS('MY_SCHEMA', degree=>10, cascade=>TRUE);
    SELECT table_name, num_rows
    FROM user_tables
    ORDER BY table_name;

    I wrote something similar that runs nightly on our databases. It gathers counts, number of extents, size and then stores it all to a table so you have a nice history.

    It's not rocket science but can be usefull for spotting trends and figuring out when a table increased in size.

    Feel free to use it and hack it to death.
