I wanted to find out the columns which contains the word "VAP" or cancellation. but the problem is we have several number of databases in our server. I wanted to know in which database/table contains the columns name which consist these words. Can anyone let us know if there is any query which can be used to search column name from all databases? I have tried below query but it will only help to find from a single database.
select distinct
t.name as TableName,
SCHEMA_NAME(t.schema_id) as TableSchema,
c.name as ColumnName,
ct.name as ColumnDataType,
c.is_nullable as IsNullable
from
sys.tables t with(nolock)
inner join
sys.columns c with(nolock) on t.object_id = c.object_id
inner join
sys.types ct with(nolock) on ct.system_type_id = c.system_type_id
where
c.name like '%VAP%'
order by
t.name
If you need to find database objects (e.g. tables, columns, triggers) by name - have a look at the FREE Red-Gate tool called SQL Search which does this - it searches your entire database for any kind of string(s).
It's a great must-have tool for any DBA or database developer - did I already mention it's absolutely FREE to use for any kind of use??
I know this is little lengthy, But You can use this query if you do not wish to use any third party applications

I have to check for value existence in a subset of tables in a subset of databases of a sql server instance. Beware I need to do this because I have 30 databases with same schema name and similar structure. Querying all databases separately is a waste of time.
The query generates correctly code for existing tables, but the additional check for column existence in table fails.
The column in some tables does not exist so the generated code must not include queries on tables without this column.
To solve this I need to realiably find a way to join sys.databases with sys.tables and then sys.columns. Or an alternative way to query all the required databases in a time saving manner.
SET NOCOUNT ON;

the table of first query doesn't contain 's_dettagli' column

From sys.objects t
INNER JOIN sys.columns c on c.Object_id = t.Object_id
Where t.name like ''''Z_WBL_ASCHEDA%''''
AND c.name = ''''s_dettagli'''' )'' '
Sys.columns can be joined to sys.tables using the object_id field (the object_id is the representation of the table itself).
sys.tables is run in the context of the database you are querying, hence you cannot see a table contained in another database. sys.databases can be run on any database on an instance and allow you to view other databases on the same instance. As such you don't need to join the table to the database (also the reason why there is no database_id field within sys.tables).
I hope that helps. Any clarification please let me know.
I would suggest alternative ways:
use registered Servers in SSMS and run the script on each database here
use exec sys.sp_MSforeachdb here
use sqlcmd and powershell to switch databases
I believe this script can help you :

Currently i have to create a list of all tables & schemes used in several (terribly) long SQL statements.
Of course i could go manually through the SQL statements and write down every table used in a JOIN, Subselect and so on.
But i'd be curious if there is any easier way to do it. maybe with a "simple" SQL statement, but i have no clue how to do it.
Why am i asking? I'd have to do this for about 50 SQL-Unload-Statements, where all of them use between 30 and 70 tables. I guess you can imagine this quite boring work
Thanks in advance for any input & hints!
Have a read here: How can i get the list of tables in the stored procedure
;WITH stored_procedures AS (
SELECT
o.name AS proc_name, oo.name AS table_name,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(partition by o.name,oo.name ORDER BY o.name,oo.name) AS row
FROM sysdepends d
INNER JOIN sysobjects o ON o.id=d.id
INNER JOIN sysobjects oo ON oo.id=d.depid
WHERE o.xtype = 'P')
SELECT proc_name, table_name FROM stored_procedures
WHERE row = 1
ORDER BY proc_name,table_name
All credit to the OP of the code above in the thread above.
I will post this answer & mark it as solved, as it was the best and easiest way to solve my issue.
Hint was in a comment by #whereisSQL (thanks a lot!)
Seems like it was already asked in this thread, but i didn't find it:
https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/121346/need-to-get-identify-all-tables-and-columns-in-a-sql-query/121355#121355
There is an online "get table column" tool to list the tables of a SQL statement here:
http://107.170.101.241:8080/getTableColumn/
It lists all tables and additionally columns used in the statement! Perfect solution in my case.

The question is old, but here is a regex for those that want the tables used in SQL statement (From/join).
I created it specially for my case, but it may be adapt and useful for others:
(from|join)[ ]{1,}[^.\n\ ]+?(?=(.))[.].*?(?=( |\n))
I am using SQL Server 2014 and I have the following T-SQL query which joins 2 tables:
SELECT a.*, b.* FROM TEMP a
INNER JOIN Extras b ON b.ResaID = a.ResaID
I would like to pull ALL the columns from TEMP and all the columns from "Extras" with the exception of the ResaID column as it is already included in a.* in the above query. Basically, I want to pull a.* + b.* (excluding b.ResaID).
I know I can write the query in the form:
Select a.*, b.column2, b.column3,...
but since b.* has got around 40 columns, is there a way to write the query in a more simplified way to exclude b.ResaID, rather than specify each of the columns in the "Extras" table?
Unfortunately, there is no such syntax. You could either use asterisks (*) and just ignore the duplicated column in your code, or explicitly list the columns you need.
You should create a view and select the columns you need from that view. Here is a script that will generate that view for you:
DECLARE #table1 nvarchar(20) = 'temp'
DECLARE #table1key nvarchar(20) = 'ResaID'
DECLARE #table2 nvarchar(20) = 'Extras'
DECLARE #table2key nvarchar(20) = 'ResaID'
DECLARE #viewname varchar(20) = 'v_myview'
DECLARE #sql varchar(max) = ''
SELECT #sql += '], a.[' + column_name
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = #table1
SELECT #sql += '], b.[' + column_name
FROM
(
SELECT column_name
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = #table2
EXCEPT
SELECT column_name
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = #table1
) x
SELECT
#sql = 'CREATE view ' +#viewname+ ' as SELECT '
+ STUFF(#sql, 1, 3, '') + '] FROM ['
+#table1+ '] a JOIN ['+ #table2
+'] b ON ' + 'a.' + #table1key + '=b.' + #table2key
EXEC(#sql)
You can simply solve this using a dynamic sql query.
DECLARE #V_SQL AS NVARCHAR(2000)='' --variable to store dynamic query
,#V_TAB1 AS NVARCHAR(200)='TEMP' --First Table
,#V_TAB2 AS NVARCHAR(200)='Extras' --Second Table
,#V_CONDITION AS NVARCHAR(2000)='A.ResaID = B.ResaID' --Conditions
SELECT #V_SQL = STUFF(
( SELECT ', '+TCOL_NAME
FROM
( SELECT 'A.'+S.NAME AS TCOL_NAME
FROM SYSCOLUMNS AS S
WHERE OBJECT_NAME(ID) = #V_TAB1
UNION ALL
SELECT 'B.'+S.NAME
FROM SYSCOLUMNS AS S
WHERE OBJECT_NAME(ID) = #V_TAB2
AND S.NAME NOT IN (SELECT S.NAME
FROM SYSCOLUMNS AS S
WHERE OBJECT_NAME(ID) = #V_TAB1)
) D
FOR XML PATH('')
),1,2,'')
EXECUTE ('SELECT '+#V_SQL+'
FROM '+#V_TAB1+' AS A
INNER JOIN '+#V_TAB2+' AS B ON '+#V_CONDITION+' ')
I've transaction Backup tables in sqlserver and all have a similar naming convention like RECEIVER_CHARGE_LOG_[MONYYYY].I've queried sys.tables to find out 82 backup tables
I now need the max and min of the date in the table,so that i can check if any data's missing.
I need the output to be like
Table_name,MAX(DATE_TIME),MIN(DATE_TIME)
Is there a way I can reference all the tables from sys.tables and use them in from part of the main query.
Using sp_MSForeachtable you can filter the tables using the #Whereand parameter to restrict it to only the tables beginning with "RECEIVER_CHARGE_LOG_":
exec sp_MSforeachtable
#command1 = 'select ''?'', MAX(DATE_TIME),MIN(DATE_TIME) from ?',
#Whereand = ' and o.name like ''RECEIVER_CHARGE_LOG_%'''
EDIT
To make this even easier to use, you can insert into a temp table and then select from this:
CREATE TABLE #result
(
TableName SysName,
MaxDateTime DateTime,
MinDateTime DateTime
)
exec sp_MSforeachtable
#command1 = 'INSERT INTO #result select ''?'', MAX(DATE_TIME), MIN(DATE_TIME) from ?',
#Whereand = ' and o.name like ''RECEIVER_CHARGE_LOG_%''',
#postcommand = 'select * from #result;drop table #result'
You can use dynamic SQL like that. You may have to tweak it as you didn't give the exact schema of your tables:
declare #sql nvarchar(max) = N'create table #temp(Table_Name nvarchar(max), MaxDate datetime, MinDate datetime); '
select #sql = #sql + 'insert into #temp select ''' + name + ''', MAX(DATE_TIME),MIN(DATE_TIME) from [' + name + ']; '
from sys.tables where type = 'U' and name like 'RECEIVER_CHARGE_LOG%'
set #sql = #sql + ' select * from #temp; drop table #temp;'
exec (#sql)
#Damien_The_Unbeliever: Unbelievable. I didn't know sp_msforeachtable had such potential. I've always made these pages long scripts with while loops and a lot of dynamic SQL.
So OP, as an answer, you might try something like this for instance:
EDIT
You can also get the set out by using a temporary table to store the results, such as:
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#TEMP') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #TEMP
CREATE TABLE #TEMP (TableName VARCHAR(256) COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT, MaxDate DATETIME, MinDate DATETIME)
EXEC SP_msForeachTable 'IF OBJECT_ID(''?'') IN
(SELECT T.object_id
FROM sys.tables T
JOIN sys.columns C on C.object_id = T.object_id
JOIN sys.schemas S on S.schema_id = T.schema_id
WHERE T.name like ''RECEIVER_CHARGE_LOG_%'' AND C.name LIKE ''DATE_TIME''
AND S.name = ''dbo'')
EXEC(''INSERT INTO #TEMP SELECT ''''?'''' Table_Name, MAX(DATE_TIME) MaxDate, MIN(DATE_TIME) MinDate FROM ?'')'
SELECT *
FROM #TEMP
ORDER BY MinDate
Though I recommend you use Steve Ford's template for the sp_msForEachTable procedure, since it's far more reasonable and efficient.
SNAHi
anyone please suggest a query in sql to find the unused tables.
I have a legacy application migrated to .net from coldfusion.But lots of tables are unused now
What is the best way to find all the unused objects from database. (sql 2005)
thanks
SNA
In SQL Server, the acutal table data IS the clustered index. Using this query on the Dynamic Management Views (DMV) in SQL Server 2005 and up, you can find unused indices - if you find any clustered index (index_id=1) being unused over an extended period of time, the table is not being used anymore:
DECLARE #dbid INT
SELECT #dbid = DB_ID(DB_NAME())
SELECT
OBJECTNAME = OBJECT_NAME(I.OBJECT_ID),
INDEXNAME = I.NAME,
I.INDEX_ID
FROM
SYS.INDEXES I
JOIN
SYS.OBJECTS O ON I.OBJECT_ID = O.OBJECT_ID
WHERE
OBJECTPROPERTY(O.OBJECT_ID, 'IsUserTable') = 1
AND I.INDEX_ID NOT IN
(SELECT S.INDEX_ID
FROM SYS.DM_DB_INDEX_USAGE_STATS S
WHERE S.OBJECT_ID = I.OBJECT_ID
AND I.INDEX_ID = S.INDEX_ID
AND DATABASE_ID = #dbid)
ORDER BY
OBJECTNAME,
I.INDEX_ID,
INDEXNAME ASC
Another option would be to temporarily rename a table if you suspect it's not being used, and then see if your app(s) still work as expected. If they do for e.g. 30 days or so, then you're pretty sure you don't need that table anymore.
