Hi everyone

I found this article which was the best and almost solved my problem,
but the problem occurred when I tried the same for searching within my site.

The problem occurred when I searched for a name and it showed the username and password tables.

How can I select specific tables for the search?

Also how can I get the list of tables based on the search and also a unique id (this unique id I want to use to restrict one user search to with the other user)

Thank You

To specify the table name you could add an in-parameter, @TableName nvarchar(100), to the stored procedure and remove the variable declared inside the SP. Also remove the 'SET @TableName ' statement inside the outer loop.

On what question do you expect an answer?
1) How to search all columns of selected tables in a database?
or
2) How can I select specific tables for the search?

Through the article I was able to get all tables, I want to know whether it is possible if I can specify tables for the search and also how can I get the list of tables based on the search and also a unique id (this unique id I want to use to restrict one user search to with the other user)
Thankyou

Try this,

SQL

select TABLE_NAME from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS where COLUMN_NAME='pass_unique_columnname_here'

(or)

SQL

select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS where COLUMN_NAME='pass_unique_columnname_here'
