我们还可以使用以下语法：-

select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS 
where COLUMN_NAME like '%clientid%' 
order by TABLE_NAME

USE AdventureWorks

GO

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 '%EmployeeID%'
ORDER BY schema_name, table_name;

在MS SQL Server数据库中，使用此查询获取包含输入文本的表和相应的列名：

SELECT t.name AS tableName, c.name AS columnName 
FROM sys.tables as t 
INNER JOIN sys.columns AS c ON t.object_id=c.object_id 
WHERE c.name LIKE '%<your_search_string>%'

要获取完整信息：列名、表名以及表的架构。。

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

希望这不是一个重复的答案，但我想做的是在sql语句中生成一个sql语句，这将允许我搜索我要查找的值（而不仅仅是具有这些字段名称的表（因为通常我需要删除与我要查找列名称的id相关的任何信息）：

  SELECT  'Select * from ' + t.name + ' where ' + c.name + ' = 148' AS SQLToRun
  FROM sys.columns c, c.name as ColName, t.name as TableName
  JOIN sys.tables t 
     ON c.object_id = t.object_id
  WHERE c.name LIKE '%ProjectID%'

然后我可以复制并粘贴运行我的第一列“SQLToRun”。。。然后我将“Select*from”替换为“Delete from”，它允许我删除对该给定ID的任何引用！将这些结果写入文件，以备不时之需。

注意***在运行delete语句之前，请确保消除所有bakup表。。。

  SELECT  'Delete from ' + t.name + ' where ' + c.name + ' = 148' AS SQLToRun
  FROM sys.columns c, c.name as ColName, t.name as TableName
  JOIN sys.tables t 
     ON c.object_id = t.object_id
  WHERE c.name LIKE '%ProjectID%'

您可以在SQL Server中使用以下查询。

SELECT column_name AS 'ColumnName',
       table_name  AS 'TableName'
FROM   information_schema.columns
WHERE  column_name LIKE '%columnname%'
       AND table_schema = 'schema'
ORDER  BY tablename,
          columnname;
