Find a value anywhere in a database

Question

Given a #, how do I discover in what table and column it could be found within?

I don\'t care if it\'s fast, it just needs to work.

Answer 1

If you have phpMyAdmin installed use its Search feature.

Select your DataBase.

Be sure you do have selected DataBase, not a table, otherwise you'll get a completely different search dialog.

1. Click Search tab
2. List item Choose the search term you want
3. Choose the tables to search
