    Many times we come across a requirement of finding names of all tables which contain specific columns. We can get the answer by using the below query:

    SELECT COL.name AS ColumnName, TAB.name AS TableName
FROM sys.columns COL
    JOIN sys.tables TAB ON COL.object_id = TAB.object_id
WHERE COL.name LIKE '%ColumnNameToSearch%'

    For example ,if we want to find names of table containing column by the name employee. The corresponding query will be as below:

    SELECT COL.name AS ColumnName, TAB.name AS TableName
FROM sys.columns COL
    JOIN sys.tables TAB ON COL.object_id = TAB.object_id
WHERE COL.name LIKE '%employee%'
