Hi All,

I've been asked to write a report, which is just a matter of a small query, which represents a number of fields

The past developer had a copy of the excel sheet of the report, which has the field names of it, but unfortunately not the names of the table.

I have been asked to write same kind of report with different dates.

Can anyone please help me in finding the name of the tables with the given fields.

I would not even mind any of the system queries, which returns the table names, as well as the fields of it.

Thanks,

AB

SELECT TABLE_NAME,COLUMN_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
--WHERE TABLE_NAME = <tablename>


add where condition if you want only details of particular table
