<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a rather large database that contains about 3500 tables. &nbsp;I have a specific value that exists in one of the fields in side one of the tables but don't have a clue as to which table, much less field. &nbsp;Is there a way to mine this data using some sort of a SQL query? &nbsp;Consequently, the value I am searching for is 200611.<br />
<br />
TIA for any guidance at all!<br />

Oh, and this is for SQL Server 2000.
