我正在寻找一个数值= 6.84 -使用这里的其他答案，我能够将我的搜索限制在这个范围内

Declare @sourceTable Table(id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY, table_name varchar(1000), column_name varchar(1000))
Declare @resultsTable Table(id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY, table_name varchar(1000))

Insert into @sourceTable(table_name, column_name)
select schema_name(t.schema_id) + '.' + t.name as[table], c.name as column_name
from sys.columns c
join sys.tables t
on t.object_id = c.object_id
where type_name(user_type_id) in ('decimal', 'numeric', 'smallmoney', 'money', 'float', 'real')
order by[table], c.column_id;

DECLARE db_cursor CURSOR FOR
Select table_name, column_name from @sourceTable
DECLARE @mytablename VARCHAR(1000);
DECLARE @mycolumnname VARCHAR(1000);

OPEN db_cursor;
FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @mytablename, @mycolumnname

WHILE @ @FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
    Insert into @ResultsTable(table_name)
    EXEC('SELECT ''' + @mytablename + '.' + @mycolumnname + '''  FROM ' + @mytablename + ' (NOLOCK) ' +
    ' WHERE ' + @mycolumnname + '=6.84')
    FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @mytablename, @mycolumnname  
END;
CLOSE db_cursor;
DEALLOCATE db_cursor;
Select Distinct(table_name) from @ResultsTable

这是我解决这个问题的方法。在SQLServer2008R2上测试

CREATE PROC SearchAllTables
@SearchStr nvarchar(100)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @dml nvarchar(max) = N''        
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb.dbo.#Results') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE dbo.#Results
CREATE TABLE dbo.#Results
 ([tablename] nvarchar(100), 
  [ColumnName] nvarchar(100), 
  [Value] nvarchar(max))  
SELECT @dml += ' SELECT ''' + s.name + '.' + t.name + ''' AS [tablename], ''' + 
                c.name + ''' AS [ColumnName], CAST(' + QUOTENAME(c.name) + 
               ' AS nvarchar(max)) AS [Value] FROM ' + QUOTENAME(s.name) + '.' + QUOTENAME(t.name) +
               ' (NOLOCK) WHERE CAST(' + QUOTENAME(c.name) + ' AS nvarchar(max)) LIKE ' + '''%' + @SearchStr + '%'''
FROM sys.schemas s JOIN sys.tables t ON s.schema_id = t.schema_id
                   JOIN sys.columns c ON t.object_id = c.object_id
                   JOIN sys.types ty ON c.system_type_id = ty.system_type_id AND c .user_type_id = ty .user_type_id
WHERE t.is_ms_shipped = 0 AND ty.name NOT IN ('timestamp', 'image', 'sql_variant')

INSERT dbo.#Results
EXEC sp_executesql @dml

SELECT *
FROM dbo.#Results
END

假设您想要获取数据库中所有具有名称的表，列名包含logintime，下面的MyDatabase是代码示例

    use MyDatabase

    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 '%logintime%'
    ORDER BY schema_name, table_name;

这是我对这个问题的独立看法，我用在我自己的工作中。它可以在SQL2000及更高版本中工作，允许通配符、列过滤，并搜索大多数常规数据类型。

伪代码描述可以选择* from *，其中任何类似'foo'的地方

我没有把它放在proc形式中，因为我不想在数百个db中维护它，而且它实际上是用于临时工作的。请随意评论错误修复。

到目前为止，我发现的最好和最通用的解决方案是通过管道将db的转储传递给您正在搜索的grep。

例如，Mysql:

mysqldump -pPASSWORD database | grep 'search phrase'

或者如果你得到了太多的结果，你可以把它们输出到一个文件:

mysqldump -pPASSWORD database | grep 'search phrase' > results.txt
