Hi,

I need to take the count from multiple tables(100+ Tables) and Sum up the same into a single value.

For example: Tables starting with TA.

I want the actual counts and hence dont want to use DBA_TABLES/ALL_TABLES.

Please suggest me the best way to do this.

Thanks

which metric measures best?

I believe that PL/SQL needs to be used.

I would use a compound query, for example
jw122pdb>
jw122pdb> select sum(cnt) from
  2  (select count(*) cnt from emp
  3  union
  4  select count(*) from dept);

  SUM(CNT)
----------
        18

how to know which tables need to be counted?

Realize the "final" value will likely be incorrect due to row changes that occur while the COUNT operation is underway?

Did you solve your previous problem?
If so, how and what was the root of the problem?

I wouldn't class that as a problem, it is just the usual issue of understanding isolation levels. What is a real problem I have noticed with my solution is that duplicate values will be removed. If OP chooses to implement it that way, he will have to adjust accordingly. But since he hasn't bothered to reply yet, I'm won't bother to post the real solution.

Something like:

SELECT  SUM(
            XMLCAST(
                    XMLQUERY(
                             '/ROWSET/ROW/CNT'
                             PASSING DBMS_XMLGEN.GETXMLTYPE(
                                                            'SELECT  COUNT(*) CNT
                                                                 FROM  "' || OWNER || '". "' || TABLE_NAME || '"'
                                                           )
                             RETURNING CONTENT
                            )
                    AS NUMBER
                   )
           ) TOTAL_ROW_COUNT
  FROM  DBA_TABLES T
  WHERE OWNER = '&SCHEMA_NAME'
    AND TABLE_NAME LIKE 'TA%'
    AND TABLE_NAME NOT LIKE 'MLOG$\_%' ESCAPE '\' -- exclude materialized view logs
    AND NVL(IOT_TYPE,'NOT_IOT') NOT IN ('IOT_OVERFLOW','IOT_MAPPING') -- exclude IOT overflow and mapping
    AND TEMPORARY = 'N' -- exclude temporary tables
    AND SECONDARY = 'N' -- exclude Oracle Text index tables and other "non-tables"
    AND TABLE_NAME NOT IN (
                           SELECT  E.TABLE_NAME
                             FROM  DBA_EXTERNAL_TABLES E
                             WHERE E.OWNER = T.OWNER
                          ) -- exclude external tables
/

Thanks for the responses. They query will be run once during the off-business hours and hence DB update may not be happening during that time.
@John Watson.. Compounding query may not be possible as i we have only few starting characters of the table. The table will go on increase with some initial static characters.
For Example: TAXGLK000001,TAXGLK000002...

@Soloman Yakobson.. Thanks for your query. It seems to the one i am looking for. I am connected to DB in home network. Will check tom and respond back. Really thanks for the quick responses.
Just one thing. we are already filtering table_name like TA%, Then why we need all other filter conditions after that.?.

Cheers.

Yes, I updated my post and added LIKE 'TA%" last minute since I missed that requirement originally. So you can remove:

AND TABLE_NAME NOT LIKE 'MLOG$\_%' ESCAPE '\' -- exclude materialized view logs

predicate. All predicates have comments explaining why they were added. E.g. you can have IOT table for which Oracle creates overflow & mapoping tables which are auxiliary and aren't user tables. Same way most likely you don't want to count rows in external table or in GTT even if name starts with TA.

Thanks. I will check the query tom. I assume count(pk) will be better instead count(*) as we will fast in query and not using much DB resource.

You assume wrong.

Hi
I think we can consider the sum(NUM_ROW) in User_tables.
But we need to make that before executing the query need to collect gathering statistics for entire schema .

Thanks

Which will not guarantee to give you the correct result (without speaking this is a way OP first rejected).
Why did you envisage this way?
