Existe-t-il un moyen d'utiliser SQL Server Management Studio pour trouver toutes les colonnes dont le nom contient une certaine sous-chaîne ?

Vous pouvez utiliser des outils tiers comme celui de Red-Gate. Recherche SQL qui sont gratuits.

Vous pouvez utiliser les vues INFORMATION_SCHEMA.

USE <database>

SELECT COLUMN_NAME
     , TABLE_NAME     
 FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE COLUMN_NAME LIKE '%<string you are looking for>%'

Le problème est de s'assurer que l'on utilise la bonne base de données.

USE <database>;

Declare @Col varchar(10);
Declare @Val varchar(10);
Declare @tablename varchar(20);
Declare @sql nvarchar(200);
Declare @sql1 nvarchar(200);

SET @Col = '...';   --INSERT COLUMN NAME
SET @Val = ...; -- INSERT COLUMN VALUE

IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb.dbo.##TempTable1', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE ##TempTable1;

SELECT NULL AS MYKEY, name
into ##TempTable1
FROM sysobjects
WHERE id IN ( SELECT id FROM syscolumns WHERE name = @Col )
ORDER BY name asc

set rowcount 1

update ##TempTable1 set mykey = 1

while @@rowcount > 0
begin
    set rowcount 0

    set @tablename =  (select name from ##TempTable1 where mykey = 1)
    set @sql = 'If Exists (SELECT * FROM '+@tablename+' WHERE '+@Col+'='+@Val+') SELECT * FROM '+@tablename+' WHERE '+@Col+'='+@Val+';'
    set @sql1 = 'If Exists (SELECT * FROM '+@tablename+' WHERE '+@Col+'='+@Val+') select name from ##TempTable1 where mykey = 1'
    EXEC sp_executesql @sql1
    EXEC sp_executesql @sql

    delete ##TempTable1 where mykey = 1
        set rowcount 1
    update ##TempTable1 set mykey = 1
end
set rowcount 0
