Hello-
I'm working with an unfamiliar application, trying to figure out where
my data is going.
Is it possible to form a query to select from all the columns in several
tables at once? Something equivalent to:
SELECT FROM * WHERE * = 'john smith';
If that's not possible I'd still like to be able to search each table at
once without specifying the column names:
SELECT FROM <table name> WHERE * = 'john smith';
If that can't be done, can a sub query find the column names to be
selected on?
Basically, I'm trying to avoid doing separate selects on each column in
each table.
This is using MySQL 5.0.27 .
Thanks for any suggestion or alternative methods!
-John
