All,

Anyone know how to get a list of tablenames and the count of rows in them

TABLE_NAME    COUNT
===========   ======
LEE                         10
LEE1                        25
LEE2                       17................etc etc

I know it can be done if the tables are analyzed and from user_tables but was wanting to know how to do it from sqlplus.
