To find column names, use information_schema.columns. Following is the syntax −
select distinct table_name from information_schema.columns where column_name like '%yourSearchValue%' and table_schema=database();
Let us implement the above syntax in order to find column names across various table. Here, we want only table names with a specific column name word “Client” −
mysql> select distinct table_name from information_schema.columns where column_name like '%Client%' and table_schema=database();
This will produce the following output −
+----------------+ | table_name | +----------------+ | demotable449 | | demotable450 | | demotable461 | | demotable517 | | demotable529 | | demotable534 | | demotable537 | | demotable543 | | demotable547 | +----------------+ 9 rows in set (1.19 sec)
Now, let us check any of the table and look for word with “Client” column name −
