How to find all the tables in MySQL with specific column names in them?

Question

I have 2-3 different column names that I want to look up in the entire DB and list out all tables which have those columns. Any easy script?

Answer 1

If you want "To get all tables only", Then use this query:

SELECT TABLE_NAME 
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_NAME like '%'
and TABLE_SCHEMA = 'tresbu_lk'

If you want "To get all tables with Columns", Then use this query:

SELECT DISTINCT TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME  
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS  
WHERE column_name LIKE '%'  
AND TABLE_SCHEMA='tresbu_lk'
