SQL Server:
SELECT Table_Name, Column_Name
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_CATALOG = 'YOUR_DATABASE'
AND COLUMN_NAME LIKE '%YOUR_COLUMN%'
Oracle:
SELECT owner, table_name, column_name
FROM all_tab_columns
WHERE column_name LIKE '%YOUR_COLUMN_NAME%'
AND OWNER IN ('YOUR_SCHEMA_NAME');
- SIMPLE AS THAT!! (SQL, PL/SQL)
I use it ALL the time to find ALL instances of a column name in a given database (schema).
