Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: count of recs in table from dictionary
We often need to produce record counts of the particular schema.
Create this procedure, change it as per yr requirements.
right now I am inserting rowcounts in a table with timestamp.
create table table_count(T_owner varchar2(50), T_tablename varchar2(50),
T_rows number);
create or replace procedure count_records is
v_ct number := 0 ; v_sqlcode number := 0 ; v_stmt varchar2(90) ;
-- r_tbl c_tbl%rowtype; -- begin open c_tbl; loop fetch c_tbl into r_tbl; exit when c_tbl%notfound; v_stmt := 'select count(*) from '||r_tbl.owner||'.'||r_tbl.table_name; execute immediate v_stmt into v_ct; v_sqlcode := SQLCODE; if v_sqlcode = 0 -- An insert into a row count history table should probably be here then dbms_output.put_line('Table '||r_tbl.owner||'.'|| rpad(r_tbl.table_name,30)|| ' count is '||to_char(v_ct,'999999999990') ); insert into table_count values(r_tbl.owner,r_tbl.table_name,v_ct); else dbms_output.put_line('Bad return code'||v_sqlcode|| ' on select of '||r_tbl.owner|| '.'||r_tbl.table_name ); end if; end loop; close c_tbl; end; / Regards - Chirag On 10/14/05, Dennis Williams <oracledba.williams_at_gmail.com> wrote:Received on Sat Oct 15 2005 - 10:56:53 CDT
