Search for Column Name in All Tables

In MS SQL Server 2000 and above there is an undocumented stored procedure that enables you to search through all tables for a particular column name. Example usage:
sp_MSforeachdb
‘print ”?”;
use [?];
select table_name
from information_schema.columns
where column_name like ”TheColumnNameToFind”’
Note: select the “Results in Text” or “Results to Text” option before executing the above.
Thanks to my friend Ras for this […]
