SELECT DISTINCT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE COLUMN_NAME LIKE '%city_id%' AND TABLE_SCHEMA='database'

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

SELECT DISTINCT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE COLUMN_NAME LIKE '%city_id%' AND TABLE_SCHEMA='database'

对于那些与此相反的搜索，即寻找不包含特定列名的表，这里是查询…

SELECT DISTINCT TABLE_NAME FROM information_schema.columns WHERE 
TABLE_SCHEMA = 'your_db_name' AND TABLE_NAME NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT 
TABLE_NAME FROM information_schema.columns WHERE column_name = 
'column_name' AND TABLE_SCHEMA = 'your_db_name');

当我们开始缓慢地实现InnoDB特殊的ai_col列的使用，并需要找出200个表中哪些表还没有升级时，这真的很方便。

使用这一行查询。将desired_column_name替换为列名。

SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM information_schema.columns WHERE column_name = 'desired_column_name';

更简单地用一行SQL语句完成:

SELECT * FROM information_schema.columns WHERE column_name = 'column_name';
