Hi all , I will select some tablesNames with the below code .

SQL

SELECT sobjects.name
FROM sysobjects sobjects
WHERE sobjects.xtype = 'U' and SUBSTRING(sobjects.name,0,10) = 'MyFirstTenCharacter'

SQL

name
r_Sales05
r_Sales05_CombinedRequests
r_Sales05_NotOrdered
r_Sales05_NotRequested
r_Sales05_SplitRequests
r_Sales05_UnmatchedAmounts
r_Sales05_UnmatchedCustomers
r_Sales05_UnmatchedItemNumbers
r_Sales05_UnmatchedQuantities
r_Sales05_UnmatchedYears

It will show me 11 TableNames . now i would like to select Count(Amount) of those table's in front of them with a join . Something like below .

VB

name                                              Amount
r_Sales05                                         0
r_Sales05_CombinedRequests                        100  
r_Sales05_NotOrdered                              1000
r_Sales05_NotRequested                            900000
r_Sales05_SplitRequests                           3
r_Sales05_UnmatchedAmounts                        5
r_Sales05_UnmatchedCustomers                      0
r_Sales05_UnmatchedItemNumbers                    12
r_Sales05_UnmatchedQuantities                     100000 
r_Sales05_UnmatchedYears                          0

Note.
I don't want rowCount , each of 10 tables has an amount fields . I would like to show the sum of amounts of each table in the other col .

Thanks .

First, you need 1,10in your SUBSTRING, not 0,10 - SQL indexes start at 1.

SQL

SELECT sobjects.name, st.row_count
FROM sysobjects sobjects
JOIN sys.dm_db_partition_stats st ON OBJECT_NAME(OBJECT_ID) = sobjects.name
WHERE sobjects.xtype = 'U' and SUBSTRING(sobjects.name,1,10) = 'MyFirstTenCharacter'

And for this : First, you need 1,10in your SUBSTRING, not 0,10 - SQL indexes start at 1.
Both of 0,10 and 1,9 are true .
