What do you mean??
Each column in a table has the same number of rows in a table.
Can you be more specific and give an example?

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

[code]DECLARE @Tables TABLE
(
TableName SYSNAME PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED,
Records BIGINT NOT NULL
)

DECLARE @SQL NVARCHAR(MAX)

SET @SQL = (
SELECT 'SELECT ' + QUOTENAME(TABLE_SCHEMA + '.' + TABLE_NAME, '''')
+ ' AS TableName, COUNT_BIG(*) AS Records FROM ' + QUOTENAME(TABLE_SCHEMA)
+ '.' + QUOTENAME(TABLE_NAME) + ';'
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'Core'
FOR XML PATH('')
)

INSERT @Tables
(
TableName,
Records
)
EXEC (@SQL)

SELECT t.TableName,
t.Records,
STUFF(f.ColumnNames, 1, 1, '') AS ColumnNames
FROM @Tables AS t
CROSS APPLY (
SELECT ',' + c.COLUMN_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS AS c
WHERE c.TABLE_SCHEMA + '.' + c.TABLE_NAME = t.TableName
FOR XML PATH('')
) AS f(ColumnNames)[/code]
