tsql - SQL Server Management Studio - Finding all non empty tables

Question

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.

Answer 1

You could try using sysindexes and INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES:)

SELECT 'Table Name'=convert(char(25),t.TABLE_NAME),
      'Total Record Count'=max(i.rows)
FROM sysindexes i, INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES t
WHERE t.TABLE_NAME = object_name(i.id)
      and t.TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
GROUP BY t.TABLE_SCHEMA, t.TABLE_NAME
HAVING max(i.rows)>0
ORDER BY 'Total Record Count' DESC
