Your souutions don't achieve what I am looking for.

1st solution

Your solution will always give the count as 1 as you are grouping by dbc.tablename and each table name is unique. What I want is to see the table name and the count of rows in each table at a glance.

select
     (trim (databasename)||'.'||trim(tablename)) as tablename
    , count(*)
from dbc.tables
group by 1 order by 1

2nd Solution

This only gives the counts of columns in a table (from dbc.columns)and not the number of rows in a table.

select (trim (t.databasename)||'.'||trim(t.tablename)) as tablename,
count(*) from dbc.tables t join dbc.columns c on
(t.databasename = c.databasename and t.tablename = c.tablename)
group by 1 order by 1

Thanks
