SQL search all columns of a table for text value

Question

I have a huge table with many columns and I know that this columns sometimes takes some specific value \'MyValue\'. How can I select all the rows in that one specific table

Answer 1

You can do this by reversing the value and column in In operator.

SELECT *
FROM   Mytable
WHERE  'Myvalue' IN ( Col1, Col2, col3,.... ) 

If you don't want to type the columns, then pull it from information_schema.column view and create a dynamic query
