| Hello ,We have about 60 several tables with order id as a column in all of them . Every day I have to check if certain order id’s exist in the 60 tables. I just need to get the name of the table if it exists. Is there a way to dynamically keep changing the name of the table instead of having all 45 tables in the script? Thanks for your help, Petronas |

| You can try something like this, change the string to what you want to find and it will return the table name(s) where its found.SELECT COLUMN_NAME, TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE COLUMN_NAME LIKE '%Order_RecID%'We are the creators of our own reality! |
