Find all tables and views containing column with specified name

Many of us some times wants to know that where a specific column is located as reference to other tables or views.

 If this is the case for you, then you can execute the following query: 

 Just replace the YourColumnName with your desired column name. 


SELECT      COLUMN_NAME AS 'ColumnName' ,
TABLE_NAME AS  'TableName'
FROM          INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE       COLUMN_NAME LIKE '%YourColumnName%'
ORDER BY  TableName , ColumnName;


 Please note that, if you follow the convention to place every where with same column name, then it will brings good output result for you.
