How to retrieve all record from every table (Ex: table1, table2, table3, ... tableN) where id = 1 from single database (EX: database1) in SQL Server 2008 R2

Suppose,I have 1 database and in that have infinite tables (EX. table1,table2, ....,tableN). So is this possible to get all the record from entire database where id=1 on each table.I thing it is possible with SQL information_schema.table or information_schema.column but i don't know how to use this.

Any help appreciated

You are aware of the fact, that one query can return one table (with multiple tables JOINed to it)?

It's possible - but the query would be different each time a table is added or removed, and it's a very unusual thing to try and do - it almost certainly means that your whole DB design is wrong: SELECT commands are designed to return information from one base table, with addition information from other related tabled which share common information (normally via a FOREIGN KEY relationship).
Trying to return unrelated info from a variable number of tables is not really the same thing.

But if the ID is a common accessor, then you'd need something like:

C#

SELECT a.*, b.*, c.*, d.*, ...
FROM Table1 a
JOIN Table2 b ON a.ID = b.ID
JOIN Table3 c ON a.ID = c.ID
JOIN Table4 d ON a.ID = d.ID
...
WHERE a.ID = 1

But as I say - if that's the case, it's normally your DB that is badly designed.
