SQL SERVER – How to find table rows count?

At some point in time we’ve all had to find out how many rows are in a table. The first answer you’ll usually get when you ask someone how to do it is select count(*) from table.

Here is the simple and accurate query to get this information from SQL Server

SELECT SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS [SchemaName],
[Tables].name AS [TableName],
SUM([Partitions].[rows]) AS [TotalRowCount]
FROM sys.tables AS [Tables]
JOIN sys.partitions AS [Partitions]
ON [Tables].[object_id] = [Partitions].[object_id]
AND [Partitions].index_id IN ( 0, 1 )
-- WHERE [Tables].name = N'name of the table'
GROUP BY SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id), [Tables].name
order by  [TotalRowCount] desc
