Table B sample data
ID column B
123 abcd#!#bcde#!#efgh
234 efgh#!#bcde#!#abcd
etc

so i need to find the apcd appearance count from table B.

Hope we can do it with like statement.but thats not efficient with large amount of data.can any one please specify the efficient way to find the appearance count of table A values in table B.

Full Text Index also does not seem to work as it does not provide the substring option.

Is there a direct way that can obtain the results in a better way?

As I can see, even a simple DB like MySQL has a substring search feature in it. So, I am sure I am missing something very big in SQL Server 2005 / 2008 which is an enterprise class DB serevr, Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks a lot !!!!!!!!!!

eg; for say in a database i know employee Name ( xxxx ) only,
not the table or column name so how can i find table and column name using ( xxxx) Value .

Please help me i am using SQL server 2008.

Thanks in advance .

First:
select object_name(object_id),definition from sys.sql_modules where definition like ‘%test%’

Second (Recommended) :
select ROUTINE_NAME, ROUTINE_DEFINITION from
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES where ROUTINE_DEFINITION like ‘%test%’

Reference from : Logiclabz

SELECT DISTINCT o.name ,o.xtype
FROM syscomments c
INNER JOIN sysobjects o ON c.id=o.id
WHERE c.TEXT LIKE ‘ER%’ and o.xtype=’P’

Why don’t you use Google.com, type display all tables in Sql Server 2005.

Use SQLAuthority Search to find out results to your search.

I need stored procedure To find all stored procedure used by table in database
and want to display the names of stored procedure along with table name.

You make one centralized database that is used in testing. Then you generate CREATE TABLE scripts for that database and put them into version control. No procedures or functions are done in this step, just the database, tables, views, indexes and constraints.

Now if you have small team working with the project you can create development databases for every team member. If you have many developers in the project, build a team to handle DB stuff and create dev DBs for them.

Every new procedure or function or table or whatever is first implemented to dev DB. When developer wants to get it in testing (s)he commits it to the version control. After that it is run from the version control to the test DB and if possible, with automated scripts to rule out human errors.

All changes goes the same way. First to dev DB, then version control, finally test DB.

Finally production database is build directly from version control.

Currently I’m in a project with some thirty other people where nothing was originally put to version control and DB stuff still isn’t. It’s a nightmare! I don’t know who is responsible of what and from whom I might ask things if something goes wrong.

The login information of stored any object owner is stored in principle_id columns in sys.objects table. If every developer would login with their own credentials then it would be enough to know the owner but in most cases all developers login with a common shared account. In that case information in principle_id column would not be much useful and you should ask developers to write owner name in comments on the top of sp or other object.
