Fastest way I can think of is dumping out the structure of the database
with mysqldump -d database.sql
and then searching the output to see where those columns appear

Fastest way I can think of is dumping out the structure of the database
with mysqldump -d database.sql
and then searching the output to see where those columns appear
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 haven't ventured into MySQL 5.x, I have enough trouble working with this
house of cards I was handed. I'll try to remember this for the future,
though.
Thanks to all.

All you need to do is install mysql 5 in any box, run the dump script,
then execute one query:
SELECT
LOWER(table_name) AS
Unfortunately, I have no experience running two versions of MySQL on the
same box, and we have no development environment. That contributes to my
timidity.
By the way, I thought I read that the list wouldn't accept HTML-coded
messages; but yours came through that way. Did I misread something?

Just one 'puter? Yikes.
