  hi,

  Needed a small help

  select table_name,count(*) into #temp from information.schema.table

  which will return the table name and their corresponding row count.

  i need this in a store procedure where this information should be inserted into a temp table.

  thankyou.

  Other than the fact that you don't have the required GROUP BY on that code, what's stopping you from using it in a stored procedure?

  If that's ALL that the stored procedure is going to consist of, I wouldn't bother because it's useless then. The Temp Table won't be available outside the stored proc and you really don't want to use a Global Temp Table because that will cause concurrency problems.

  RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
  First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
  ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

  Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
