I want to search in all fields from all tables of a MySQL database a given string, possibly using syntax as:
SELECT * FROM * WHERE * LIKE '%stuff%' Is it possible to do something like this?
You can peek into the
information_schemaschema. It has a list of all tables and all fields that are in a table. You can then run queries using the information that you have gotten from this table.The tables involved are SCHEMATA, TABLES and COLUMNS. There are foreign keys such that you can build up exactly how the tables are created in a schema.
