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

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;

这可能对你有帮助。——来自纳拉亚纳·维亚斯。它搜索给定数据库中所有表的所有列。我以前用过，效果很好。

这是上面链接中的Stored Proc -我所做的唯一更改是将临时表替换为表变量，这样您就不必每次都记得删除它。

执行存储过程。

 EXEC SearchAllTables 'YourStringHere'

根据bnkdev的回答，我修改了Narayana的代码，以搜索所有列，甚至是数字列。

它会运行得慢一些，但这个版本实际上会找到所有匹配项，而不仅仅是文本列中的匹配项。

我对他感激不尽。省了我好几天徒手找!

您可能需要为数据库构建一个倒立索引。它肯定是相当快的。

如果您只需要运行一次这样的搜索，那么您可能可以使用其他答案中已经显示的任何脚本。但除此之外，我建议使用ApexSQL搜索。这是一个免费的SSMS插件，它真的为我节省了很多时间。

在运行任何脚本之前，您都应该根据要搜索的数据类型自定义脚本。如果你知道你正在搜索datetime列，那么就没有必要通过nvarchar列进行搜索。这将加快上面所有查询的速度。
