Use where condition. For eg.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. select * from HR_Master where position = 'CEO' and salary = 2354 and date = 'YYYY-MM-DD'

If you're looking for that value anywhere in any table in any row in any field in the database, you will have to return all the information schema data as meetee suggests. And then you will have to loop through it creating dynamic sql to do the actual search.

Just so you are aware, this is take tremendous amounts of time unless your database is small.

I'm afraid that wouldn't work for reasons already discussed in the thread (and others which haven't been - like it wouldn't match any records anyway).
