Find all table names with column name? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

Please try the below query. Use sys.columns to get the details :-

SELECT c.name AS ColName, t.name AS TableName
FROM sys.columns c
    JOIN sys.tables t ON c.object_id = t.object_id
WHERE c.name LIKE '%MyCol%';

Solution 2:

You could do this:

SELECT t.name AS table_name,
SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS schema_name,
c.name AS column_name
FROM sys.tables AS t
INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON t.OBJECT_ID = c.OBJECT_ID
WHERE c.name LIKE '%MyColumn%'
ORDER BY schema_name, table_name;

Solution 3:

Try Like This: For SQL SERVER 2008+

SELECT c.name AS ColName, t.name AS TableName
FROM sys.columns c
    JOIN sys.tables t ON c.object_id = t.object_id
WHERE c.name LIKE '%MyColumnaName%'

Or

SELECT COLUMN_NAME, TABLE_NAME 
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS 
WHERE COLUMN_NAME LIKE '%MyName%'

Or Something Like This:

SELECT name  
FROM sys.tables 
WHERE OBJECT_ID IN ( SELECT id 
              FROM syscolumns 
              WHERE name like '%COlName%' )
