SQL Server Helper

If you have Powershell installed, exporting to Excel is probably a non-issue for you.

However, here is a quick script that was useful to me and was fairly simple to implement.

1. Create a directory and copy the Excel shortcut to it.  Rename the shortcut to Excel.lnk
2. Create a command script countalltables.cmd

osql –S [sqlservername] -d [databasename] -E -I -s "," -Q "spcCountAllTables" > CountallTables.Csv
Excel countAllTables.Csv

3. Create a stored procedure in the database spcCountAllTables

create proc spcCountAllTables
as
set nocount on
SELECT  'myTable' as TableName, COUNT(*) as Total FROM MyTable UNION ALL

4. Run the proc countalltables.cmd

You should see a list of tables you defined with their counts.
