| James Simonetta writes "I would like to know if there is a way to search through a SQL 2000 database to look for a particular field. I don't want search the data rather all the tables that exist. For example I need to know where 'lentid' field is what is the table name and how many tables have this field?So an expected result would be field 'lentid' is found in table 1, table23 and so on...Thank you for your time.Regards,James Simonetta." |

| SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE COLUMN_NAME LIKE 'lentid%'There's a procedure here that does this, it's a little more compact to use:http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=32319Look in Books Online for the "INFORMATION_SCHEMA" views, they're extremely handy for providing information about the database. |
