Finding all tables with a particular field?

Question posted by: Fred Wilson (Guest) on June 27th, 2008 07:04 PM
Hello,

How does one go about finding all the tables that have a particular
field name? For example a field name "EVENT_CODE"

I would like to find all the places in the database this is located.
Ultimately I want to further find in that field the code "0214" and
change it to "0200".

Thank you,
Fred

Apart from Svend's advice, this group is dead. You should ask this
question on c.d.o.server.
