If you really mean all

  select table_name
from dba_tab_columns
where column_name = 'FIELD';

Be sure that the field you are looking for is in caps.

If you mean all that a particular user can use replace dba with all
and run query as that user.

This one's easy...look in DBA_TAB_COLUMNS.

select table_name, column_name
from   dba_tab_columns
where  column_name like '%WHATEVER%';

Cheers,
Mike

2001-07-19 Thread Kathy Duret

If you don't know the name of the owner or table name and can log in as SYS or SYSTEM 
or a user with DBA privileges use:

select owner, table_name from dba_tab_columns where column_name = '';

If you are just looking for that column for a particular user, login as the user and 
do this select:

select table_name from user_tab_columns where column_name = '';
