This is another way, although you don't get it in your required format:  

 select 'select count(1) '||table_name|| ' from ' || table_name ||';' from user_tables;

Hi Lee,  

Here's how you can do it in PL/SQL. It can easily be converted to SQL if realy realy want it :).  

set serveroutput on size 1000000
declare
 cursor c is select table_name from user_tables;  rec c%rowtype;
begin
  open c;
  fetch c into rec;  

  dbms_output.put_line('select ');
  dbms_output.put_line( 'select '||''''||rec.table_name||''''||' table_name'

                      ||',count(*) from '||rec.table_name
                      );

  fetch c into rec;  

  while c%found
  loop

    dbms_output.put_line( 'union all '||chr(10)
                        ||'select '||''''||rec.table_name||''''
                        ||',count(*) from '||rec.table_name
                        );

    fetch c into rec;
  end loop;  

  dbms_output.put_line(';');
end;

All,  

Anyone know how to get a list of tablenames and the count of rows in them  

TABLE_NAME COUNT
=========== ======

LEE                        10
LEE1                       25
LEE2                      17................etc etc
 

I know it can be done if the tables are analyzed and from user_tables but was wanting to know how to do it from sqlplus.
