Getting # of rows for table(s)

edited Mar 29, 2016 5:05AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered

Hi

Is there an efficient way of getting the number of rows from one or more tables besides the select count(*) ?

For example, we have a few tables with millions of records in it but it undergoes a lot of DELETES and INSERTS and at any given time we would like to know what is the actual number of rows in the table WITHOUT having to do a select count(*) operation

Thanks in advance for your guidance in this matter

Howdy, Stranger!
