Mysql query search a string in all columns of a table

Question

I wonder how I can mount a SQL as portable as possible to query for all columns of a table for a specific phrase, like:

Table

ID | Name          


        

Answer 1

you can use this store procedure to search a text in all column in table

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.sp_FindStringInTable @stringToFind VARCHAR(100), 
@schema 
sysname, @table sysname 
AS

BEGIN TRY
DECLARE @sqlCommand varchar(max) = 'SELECT * FROM [' + @schema + '].[' + 
@table + '] WHERE ' 

SELECT @sqlCommand = @sqlCommand + '[' + COLUMN_NAME + '] LIKE ''' + 
@stringToFind + ''' OR '
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS 
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = @schema
AND TABLE_NAME = @table 
AND DATA_TYPE IN ('char','nchar','ntext','nvarchar','text','varchar')

SET @sqlCommand = left(@sqlCommand,len(@sqlCommand)-3)
EXEC (@sqlCommand)
PRINT @sqlCommand
END TRY

BEGIN CATCH 
PRINT 'There was an error. Check to make sure object exists.'
PRINT error_message()
END CATCH 

Execute it like this

EXEC sp_FindStringInTable '%searchword%','schema_name', 'tablename'
