How do you get a list of tables and their row counts? I have tried this:

SELECT [TableName] = so.name,
[RowCount] = MAX(si.rows)
FROM sysobjects so,
sysindexes si
WHERE so.xtype = 'U'
AND si.id = OBJECT_ID(so.name)
and so.name = 'TABLE_NAME'
GROUP BY so.name
ORDER BY 2 DESC; -- 14864

select count(*) from TABLE_NAME; -- 14865

For some reason the first query is showing one row less.

Thanks,

Was the database upgraded from SQL Server 2000? Has DBCC UPDATEUSAGE been run?

I'm not sure what version of SQL Server this database came from. I'm running these queries in 2005.

I ran this:

DBCC UPDATEUSAGE (Database_Name);

I'm getting the same results.
