How to find list of tables having no records in SQL server
Alteration to add Schema names:
SELECT
sch.name,
t.NAME AS TableName,
p.rows AS RowCounts
FROM
sys.tables t
INNER JOIN
sys.partitions p ON t.object_id = p.OBJECT_ID
inner Join sys.schemas sch
on t.schema_id = sch.schema_id
WHERE
t.NAME NOT LIKE 'dt%'
AND t.is_ms_shipped = 0
AND p.rows = 0
GROUP BY
sch.name,t.Name, p.Rows
ORDER BY
sch.name,t.Name
Try this:
SELECT
t.NAME AS TableName,
p.rows AS RowCounts
FROM
sys.tables t
INNER JOIN
sys.partitions p ON t.object_id = p.OBJECT_ID
WHERE
t.NAME NOT LIKE 'dt%'
AND t.is_ms_shipped = 0
AND p.rows = 0
GROUP BY
t.Name, p.Rows
ORDER BY
t.Name
The query goes to the sys.tables
and other catalog views to find the tables, their indexes and partitions, to find those tables that have a row count of 0.
