hi all,

Is there any view or table that gives the number of rows of all tables in a database? Or else how to know the number of rows of all tables?

Excuse if the question is silly..

All replies are welcome and tx in adv

One solution could be ,

1. Collect statistics for the whole database

 SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_database_stats;

2. Then run this query as sys user

 SQL> select sum(num_rows) from dba_tables;

Just to add.
NUM_ROWS may not always give you the exact count.
The only reliable method is to manually count.
But why?
