Hi there.

I was wondering if there's any statement that can get me the names of all the tables that currently have no rows.

something like 'select * from systables where rowcount=0'

Yeah I know there's no systables (or at least I've never seen it), but that's the general idea.

SELECT OBJECT_NAME(id)
FROM sysindexes
WHERE indid IN (0,1)
  AND rowcnt = 0
ORDER BY OBJECT_NAME(id)
