Search text in fields in every table of a MySQL database

Question

I want to search in all fields from all tables of a MySQL database a given string, possibly using syntax as:

SELECT * FROM * WHERE * LIKE \'%stuff%\'
         


        

Answer 1

This is the simplest query to retrive all Columns and Tables

SELECT * FROM information_schema.`COLUMNS` C WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'YOUR_DATABASE'

All the tables or those with specific string in name could be searched via Search tab in phpMyAdmin.

Have Nice Query... \^.^/
