I wanted to know which tables contains the most populated records in db. So I wrote this script.
if exists(select * from tempdb.dbo.sysobjects where name like '#tmptablename%') drop table #tmptablename go select table_name into #tmptablename from information_schema.tables where table_type = 'BASE TABLE' and table_name <> 'dtproperties' alter table #tmptablename add nrowcount int go declare @cur_table nvarchar(50),@myquery nvarchar(500) declare db_cursor cursor for select table_name from #tmptablename open db_cursor fetch next from db_cursor into @cur_table while @@fetch_status = 0 begin set @myquery = 'update #tmptablename set nrowcount = (select count(*) from ['+@cur_table+'] with (nolock) ) where table_name = '''+@cur_table+'''' print @myquery execute sp_executesql @myquery fetch next from db_cursor into @cur_table end CLOSE db_cursor DEALLOCATE db_cursor select * from #tmptablename order by nrowcount desc
