Hi,
Do anobody knows any procedure at PL/SQL which returns name of table and column which contain a desired value. I'm adding something to database threw GUI and I dont know in which table this value is added. Maybe there is some procedure which do somethong like this:
select * from * where exist ‘some string
SELECT table_name FROM all_tab_columns WHERE column_name = 'string';???
no, since it's brute force you have to code one yourself!
I've got lets say 100 tables and 10 columns at each but only 5 rows per table so db is not big. But i want to find a string in such DB. Is there any tool for this or procedure?
No, there is no such tool.
search asktom for search_schema (he wrote one)

Why? why would the front end user need to know what tables are being used in the gui?Quote:

SELECT table_name FROM all_tab_columns
WHERE column_name = 'LAST_NAME'
will return both CUSTOMER and SUPPLIER tables.
Now tell me which one do you want?

its nothing to do with knowing sql, its all about finding out which tables his front end gui uses
