Hi All,

Guys Can u all tell me when difference between following queries exist then how to update it in system.catalogues


Query1)

SELECT count(*) FROM <table>
Query2)

SELECT rowcnt FROM sys.indexes WHERE Object_ID=OBJECT_ID(<TABLE>)
OR
SELECT * FROM sys.partitions WHERE Object_ID=OBJECT_ID(<TABLE>)


I have found difference between the two queries all the time ?WHY it is SO?
How we can update the deficit therefore ?

count * counts every record (subject to the where clause)
count somecol only counts records with somecol notnull (ditto)

DBCC UpdateUsage

Shouldn't be needed on SQL 2005, but if this DB was upgraded from SQL 2000, there could still be discrepancies.
