此外，还可以找到具有指定模式的列名。

SELECT 'DBName' AS DBName,
       column_name,
       table_name,
       table_schema
FROM   dbname.information_schema.columns
WHERE  column_name LIKE '%YourColumnName%'
       AND table_schema IN ( 'YourSchemaName' ) 

您还可以在多个数据库中找到同一列。

SELECT 'DBName1' AS DB,
       column_name,
       table_name,
       table_schema
FROM   dbname1.information_schema.columns
WHERE  column_name LIKE '%YourColumnName%'
UNION
SELECT 'DBName2' AS DB,
       column_name,
       table_name,
       table_schema
FROM   dbname2.information_schema.columns
WHERE  column_name LIKE '%YourColumnName%' 

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;

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%'

如果你更喜欢第三方工具，有很多选择，比如：

ApexSQL搜索SSMS工具包红门工具。

如果您的数据库包含加密对象（视图、过程、函数），则这些对象非常有用，因为您无法使用系统表轻松搜索这些对象。

我不知道为什么很多人建议使用sys.columns加入sys.table。

您可以使用以下代码：

SELECT Object_name(object_id) AS TableName,
       *
FROM   sys.columns
WHERE  NAME LIKE '%MyName%' 

or

如果还需要架构名称：

SELECT *
FROM   information_schema.columns
WHERE  column_name LIKE '%MyName%' 

您可以尝试以下查询：

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 '%myName%'
