I am an Oracle DBA and I wanted something in SQL Server 2005 that is similar to
PROCEDURE GET_STAGING_INSERT_COUNTS
IS
v_ErrorCode integer;
v_ErrorMessage varchar2(512);
v_table_name varchar2(100);
e_countfailure EXCEPTION;
BEGIN
.
.
.
for c1rec0 in (select table_name,
to_number(extractvalue(xmltype(dbms_xmlgen.getxml(‘select count(*) c from ‘ ||
table_name)),
‘/ROWSET/ROW/C’)) ROW_count
from user_tables ttl
) loop
begin

insert_log_data(c1rec0.table_name,
to_char(sysdate, ‘YYYYMMDDHH24MISS’),
‘STG COUNT’, ‘Success’, c1rec0.ROW_count,
‘from staging’);
COMMIT;
end;
.
.
.

end loop;
.
.
.
COMMIT;
EXCEPTION
WHEN others THEN
return_status := ‘Failed’;
v_errorcode := SQLCODE;
v_errormessage := sqlerrm;
insert_ATOS_log_data(v_table_name, to_char(sysdate, ‘YYYYMMDDHH24MISS’), ‘COUNTS’, ‘Failed’, 0, ‘GET_STAGING_INSERT_COUNTS’);
insert_ATOS_log_data(‘Process Failed’, to_char(sysdate, ‘YYYYMMDDHH24MISS’), ‘COUNTS’, ‘Failed’, 0, ‘Load_Control Error Code: ‘ || v_errorcode || ‘ Error Message: ‘ || v_errormessage);
END GET_STAGING_INSERT_COUNTS;

and the above will save me a tremendous amount of time.
Thank You

SELECT object_name(id) ,rowcnt
FROM sysindexes
WHERE indid IN (1,0) AND OBJECTPROPERTY(id, ‘IsUserTable’) = 1
order by rowcnt desc

– Create a cursor to loop through the System Ojects and get each table name
DECLARE TBL_CURSOR CURSOR
– Declare the SQL Statement to cursor through
FOR (SELECT Name FROM Sysobjects WHERE Type=’U')

– Declare the @SQL Variable which will hold our dynamic sql
DECLARE @SQL VARCHAR(8000), @SQL2 VARCHAR(8000), @SQL3 VARCHAR(8000)
SET @SQL = ”;
SET @SQL2 = ”;
SET @SQL3 = ”;
– Declare the @TblName Variable which will hold the name of the current table
DECLARE @TblName VARCHAR(255);

– Open the Cursor
OPEN TBL_CURSOR

– Setup the Fetch While that will loop through our cursor and set @TblName
FETCH NEXT FROM TBL_CURSOR INTO @TblName
– Do this while we are not at the end of the record set
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS -1)
BEGIN
– Appeand this table’s select count statement to our sql variable
IF ASCII (@TblName) % 3 = 0
SET @SQL = @SQL + ‘ ( SELECT ”’+@TblName+”’ AS Table_Name, COUNT(*) AS Count FROM ‘+@TblName+’ ) UNION’;

IF ASCII (@TblName) % 3 = 1
SET @SQL2 = @SQL2 + ‘ ( SELECT ”’+@TblName+”’ AS Table_Name, COUNT(*) AS Count FROM ‘+@TblName+’ ) UNION’;

IF ASCII (@TblName) % 3 = 2
SET @SQL3 = @SQL3 + ‘ ( SELECT ”’+@TblName+”’ AS Table_Name, COUNT(*) AS Count FROM ‘+@TblName+’ ) UNION’;

– Pull the next record
FETCH NEXT FROM TBL_CURSOR INTO @TblName
– End the Cursor Loop
END

– Close and Clean Up the Cursor
CLOSE TBL_CURSOR
DEALLOCATE TBL_CURSOR

– Since we were adding the UNION at the end of each part, the last query will have
– an extra UNION. Lets trim it off.
–SET @SQL = LEFT(@SQL, LEN(@SQL)-6);
–SET @SQL2 = LEFT(@SQL2, LEN(@SQL2)-6);
SET @SQL3 = LEFT(@SQL3, LEN(@SQL3)-6);

– Lets do an Order By. You can pick between Count and Table Name by picking which
– line to execute below.
–SET @SQL = @SQL + ‘ ORDER BY Count’;
–SET @SQL = @SQL + ‘ ORDER BY Table_Name’;

– Now that our Dynamic SQL statement is ready, lets execute it.
EXEC (@SQL + @SQL2 + @SQL3 + ‘ ORDER BY Count’);
–EXEC (@SQL + @SQL2 + @SQL3 + ‘ ORDER BY Table_Name’);
GO

Quick question: Is there a way to list the row counts as well as the table sizes?

SELECT ‘select ”’+ name + ”’, count(*) from ‘ + name + ‘ union’
FROM Sysobjects
WHERE Type=’U’
ORDER BY 1;

Copy + paste the results, remove the trailing ‘union’ and add your ‘order by’ clause.

Also I found that square brackets were needed around the tablename on line 26 – in the dynamic query (some of my tables begin with a numeric character)

instead of:
SET @SQL = @SQL + ‘ ( SELECT ”’+@TblName+”’ AS Table_Name,COUNT(*) AS Count FROM ‘+@TblName+’ ) UNION’

use:
SET @SQL = @SQL + ‘ ( SELECT ”’+@TblName+”’ AS Table_Name,COUNT(*) AS Count FROM ['+@TblName+'] ) UNION’
