If you want to get an overview of the number of rows the tables contain in your database, one way to count them is by intervals of rows. This query returns the number of tables grouped by the number of rows at predefined intervals.

Query

        COUNT(*) AS Tables
FROM (
    SELECT  DatabaseName,
            TableName,

Columns

• RowInterval - predefined row count intervals:
  • 0 - 10 rows
  • 10 - 100 rows
  • 100 - 1k rows
  • 1k - 1m rows
  • 1m - 1b rows
  • 1b rows and more
• Tables - number of tables whose row count falls in that interval

Rows

• One row: represents one interval
• Scope of rows: all row count intervals that appear in the database
• Ordered by: from the smallest table row count to the largest
