Question

I need to modify a database and need to find all the tables that contain the column name of ‘sysnames’.

I also need to search for views and stored procedures that also contain ‘sysnames’ in their statements so I can update them accordingly.

This is for SQL2000.

TIA,

Somewhat hacky, but you can use these:

select *
from information_schema.columns
where column_name = 'sysnames'

select *
from information_schema.views
where view_definition like '%sysnames%'

select *
from information_schema.routines
where routine_definition like '%sysnames%'
