Question

We are moving our mysql database to strict_all_tables from non-strict mode and would like to find all existing rows with invalid dates (0000-00-00) from all databases and tables on our server. Is there a way to do this by one command or some other simple way?

I would like to know database and table name where the 0000-00-00 value exists, column name would be a plus.

We have quite a large amount of databases with a large set of tables, some containing quite a large amount of data so the more automatic the method, the better.

## Table for storing resultant output
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `temp_details`;
CREATE TABLE `temp_details` ( 
`t_schema` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`t_table` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`t_field` varchar(45) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;



## Procedure for search in all fields of all databases
DELIMITER $$
#Script to loop through all tables using Information_Schema
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS get_table $$
CREATE PROCEDURE get_table(in_search varchar(50))
READS SQL DATA
BEGIN
DECLARE trunc_cmd VARCHAR(50);
DECLARE search_string VARCHAR(250);
DECLARE db,tbl,clmn CHAR(50);
DECLARE done INT DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE COUNTER INT;
DECLARE table_cur CURSOR FOR
SELECT concat('SELECT COUNT(*) INTO @CNT_VALUE FROM `',table_schema,'`.`',table_name,'` WHERE `', column_name,'` REGEXP "',in_search,'"') ,table_schema,table_name,column_name FROM information_schema.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA NOT IN ('information_schema','test','mysql');
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done=1;
#Truncating table for refill the data for new search.
PREPARE trunc_cmd FROM "TRUNCATE TABLE temp_details;";
