I am working on a MySQL database that is huge (about 120 tables). I am trying to make some sense of it and it will help a great deal if I can search all 120 tables + columns for a string I am looking for.
Is that possible to do on a MySQL DB?
There is one solution, which might not be what you want. If you dumped the table into a file (mysqldump) with the data, then you would be able to grep any information you wanted out of it.
It would remove the need for time consuming search queries, and is the most efficient way I can think of.
