SDU Tools: List empty user tables in SQL Server
When I’ve reviewing customer databases, I often come across tables that have been created by users, yet they are completely empty. Now that might be perfectly OK but sometimes, it’s a mistake that should be cleaned up.
So, in our free SDU Tools for developers and DBAs, we added a tool that can look for user tables that are empty. No surprise, it’s called ListEmptyTables.
It takes three parameters:
@DatabaseName sysname - the database to look into @SchemasToList nvarchar(max) - a comma-delimited list of schemas to check (or ‘ALL’) @TablesToList nvarchar(max) - a comma-delimited list of tables to check (or ‘ALL’)
