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.

When asking database related questions, please give other posters
some clues, like operating system, version of db being used and DDL.
The exact text and/or number of error messages is useful (!= "it didn't work!").
Thanks.
