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%' 

以下查询将为您提供字段名为“%myName”的数据库的确切表名。

SELECT distinct(TABLE_NAME)
  FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS    
 WHERE COLUMN_NAME LIKE '%myName%'

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;

这应该是有效的：

SELECT name 
FROM sysobjects 
WHERE id IN ( SELECT id 
              FROM syscolumns 
              WHERE name like '%column_name%' )

像oracle一样，您可以通过以下方式查找表和列：

select table_name, column_name
from user_tab_columns 
where column_name 
like '%myname%';

DECLARE @columnName as varchar(100)
SET @columnName = 'ColumnName'

SELECT t.name AS Table, c.name AS Column,
ty.name AS Type, c.max_length AS Length
FROM sys.tables AS t
INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON t.OBJECT_ID = c.OBJECT_ID
INNER JOIN sys.types ty ON c.system_type_id = ty.system_type_id
WHERE c.name LIKE @columnName
ORDER BY t.name, c.name
