Is there any way to find a column name (or, better yet, a partial column name) in all tables within a data base?

1. If the db is not in 5.0, mysqldump the DML to a file, run that file in an instance of MySQL 5.x.
2. Query information_schema.

I inherited a complex and totally undocumented data base, and need to find
out (for example) which tables have a column name like xxx_exported.
