    AFAIK...

    Select Object_Name(id) AS ObjectName, rowcnt AS RowCnt
    From Sysindexes Where Object_Name(id) = 'TableName'

    DBCC UPDATEUSAGE (0)

    This would guarantee the rowcount is up-to-date... and then use this statement

    SELECT object_name(id) [TableName]
    ,rowcnt [Rows]
    FROM sysindexes
    WHERE object_name(id) IN (SELECT Name
    FROM sysobjects
    WHERE type = 'u')
    AND IndID IN (0,1)
    ORDER BY object_name(id)



    Thanks,
    Ram
