Re: Count Table rows using Stored Procedure

Not interested in controversy, but I'm not sure about the statistical bit.

I've got a table that has not been touched in 2 years (that's why I have migrated it in the first place). So it's not transactional or, if you prefer, does not suffer changes.

So I compare both tables (in 2 separate servers) using SELECT COUNT(*). Both give exactly and precisely same no. of rows (which indicates COUNT(*) does the right thing, counting rows, how could it be statistical?).

However, if you use <information_schema>, tables in both servers show very different -and very inaccurate!- no. of rows. They don't match at all.

I tried to read the link you included but couldn't find the intended reference.
