SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft SQL Server 2000, the row count for some non-empty tables is reported as zero in the Taskpad view in SQL Server Enterprise Manager.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the query that is used by the Taskpad view component to obtain the row count for tables that do not have a clustered index reads the row count value out of the first index or statistics (whichever comes first when they are alphabetically sorted) that are created on the table. If a statistics entry comes first, its value for the column that is named rows in the sysindexes system table is always zero, and that value is displayed in the Taskpad view.
