I am working with some of the tables which are basically somewhere in Oracle and SAS have the metadata library. If I want to check the number of records in all these tables in SAS. How can I do that?

do it like this 

 

proc sql;
create table table_name as select memname,nobs from dictionary.tables
where libname='/*your library name*/';
quit;

Have a look at sashelp.vtable, the view contains metadata of all datasets in assigned libraries.

For all metadata-tables or only those using tables in oracle?

No of records is not available in SAS for external data sources. You need to query Oracle for that information.
