Search for a column in your database.

Some times you need to find a table,view or store procedure and you remember a column name but cant really figure out what table it was on, or maybe you need to find all tables that have a coulumn that you are trying to modify or delete and you know need to confirm all the places where its used, here are some querys to do it.

Tables and Views:

select table_name,column_name from     information_schema.columns
where column_name like '%(your column name)%'

Search for values inside the Stored procedures :

select routine_name, routine_definition
  from information_schema.routines
  where routine_definition like '%tax_id%'
  and routine_type='(your column name)'
