The original result does not bring the largest table, simply the most number of rows.
This does not necessarily mean it’s the largest table.
The solution I posted above does however give us a way to view the results by any of the sizeable measures for an object, along with a dynamic sort for the user, thus resulting in a ‘Find Row Counts’ and ‘Find largest table’ method.

If there’s anyone intersted here’s one that works:

SELECT o.name AS “Table”, i.rowcnt AS “Rows”
FROM sysobjects o, sysindexes i
WHERE i.id = o.id
AND indid IN(0,1)
AND xtype = ‘u’
AND o.name ‘sysdiagrams’
ORDER BY i.rowcnt desc

create table #tablesize ( name varchar(50),
rows int,
reserved varchar(20),
data varchar(20),
index_size varchar(20),
unused varchar(20)
)

exec sp_msForEachTable ‘insert #tablesize exec sp_spaceused ”?”’

declare @sortorder tinyint
set @sortorder = 2

select name,
replace(rows, ‘KB’, ”) as Rows,
convert(int,replace(reserved, ‘KB’, ”)) as TotalReserved,
convert(int,replace(data, ‘KB’, ”)) as DataSize,
convert(int,replace(index_size, ‘KB’, ”)) as IndexSize,
convert(int,replace(unused, ‘KB’, ”)) as Unused
from #tablesize
order by case when @sortorder = 1 then Rows
when @sortorder = 2 then convert(int,replace(reserved, ‘KB’, ”))
when @sortorder = 3 then convert(int,replace(data, ‘KB’, ”))
when @sortorder = 4 then convert(int,replace(index_size, ‘KB’, ”))
when @sortorder = 5 then convert(int,replace(unused, ‘KB’, ”))
else Rows
end desc
