Hi Guys,

I often come across the situation where i need to find the column name having particular value of unknown table in a Sql database. For example, I know the value of a column like ‘Test’ and i need to find the Column name and table name in the particular data base. Please share if i can query like that.

Thanks and Regards,
Parthiban Sekar

CREATE VIEW [Sales].[vSalesPerson]
AS
SELECT
s.[SalesPersonID]
,c.[Title]
,c.[FirstName]
,c.[MiddleName]
,c.[LastName]
,c.[Suffix]
,[JobTitle] = e.[Title]
,c.[Phone]
,c.[EmailAddress]
,c.[EmailPromotion]
,a.[AddressLine1]
,a.[AddressLine2]
,a.[City]
,[StateProvinceName] = sp.[Name]
,a.[PostalCode]
,[CountryRegionName] = cr.[Name]
,[TerritoryName] = st.[Name]
,[TerritoryGroup] = st.[Group]
,s.[SalesQuota]
,s.[SalesYTD]
,s.[SalesLastYear]
FROM [Sales].[SalesPerson] s
INNER JOIN [HumanResources].[Employee] e
ON e.[EmployeeID] = s.[SalesPersonID]
LEFT OUTER JOIN [Sales].[SalesTerritory] st
ON st.[TerritoryID] = s.[TerritoryID]
INNER JOIN [Person].[Contact] c
ON c.[ContactID] = e.[ContactID]
INNER JOIN [HumanResources].[EmployeeAddress] ea
ON e.[EmployeeID] = ea.[EmployeeID]
INNER JOIN [Person].[Address] a
ON ea.[AddressID] = a.[AddressID]
INNER JOIN [Person].[StateProvince] sp
ON sp.[StateProvinceID] = a.[StateProvinceID]
INNER JOIN [Person].[CountryRegion] cr
ON cr.[CountryRegionCode] = sp.[CountryRegionCode];

Query is : How could we say that the above VIEW follows which type of JOIN by looking at resultset or View ?
