To store the results of the query into a variable you can do something like:

DECLARE @body varchar(8000)

SET @body = ''

SELECT @body = @body + s.name + '.' + t.name + CHAR(9) + CAST(SUM(ps.row_count) AS varchar(9)) + CHAR(13)

FROM sys.tables t

INNER JOIN sys.schemas s oN t.schema_id = s.schema_id

INNER JOIN sys.indexes i ON t.object_id = i.object_id

INNER JOIN sys.dm_db_partition_stats ps ON i.object_id = ps.object_id AND i.index_id = ps.index_id

WHERE i.index_id IN (0,1)

GROUP BY s.name, t.name, i.name

ORDER BY s.name, t.name

Ugly code but it seems to work

The rowcounts in the SysIndexes table may not be anywhere near accurate until you run DBCC UPDATEUSAGE.

--Jeff Moden

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

sys.dm_db_partition_stats - is giving the following error.

The user does not have permission to perform this action.

Is The above system table must be used by DBA only?

Thank You

Books Online says that querying this table requires the permission "VIEW DATABASE STATE", so they don't need to be a DBA, just have this granted to them.:

Can any one check this and tell me why I am not able to access the system table sys.dm_db_partition_stats ?

Thank You

Is the DBA unwilling to grant the VIEW DATABASE STATE permission to you? If so, that will limmit your options here.

I am not sure I have this Permission. I attached a screen shot of my account access. DBA provided my account as Public user. Please see the attachment in above post.

Please let me know how can I see the permissions for my account to that SQL Server 2005? There were so many databases but I have the access only one database which is belong to my project?

Thanks a lot,

Venki.

Thank You

I'd just use a query like this:

Select

S.name as schema_name,

O.name as table_name,

P.rows ,

O.type

from

sys.partitions P join

sys.tables O on

P.object_id = O.object_id Join

sys.schemas S On

O.schema_id = S.schema_id

Where

P.index_id in (0,1)-- heap or clustered index

No special permissions required. I don't know if sys.partitions is more reliable than sysindexes or not.
