| "Is there any such functionality availavble as part of T-SQL"No. You'll have to write something that searches every column or every table.I expect that a search of these forums will turn something up, as the topic has been here raised before.Kristen |

| Following code will generate sql statements to search specific string in all columns of all tables in the db:declare @searchstring varchar(100)set @searchstring ='%xxx%'Select 'Select "'+object_name(id)+'" as tabname,count(*) as RowsMatch from '+object_name(id) + ' where '+name +' like "'+@searchstring +'"'from syscolumns where xtype in (175,239,99,231,35,167) |
