Have you ended up in a situation wherein, you know the Column Name but you have no clue about the Table Name ? I recently came across the situation and following is one query which help me out of the situation.The Query is for Firebird Database.
select f.rdb$relation_name, f.rdb$field_name from rdb$relation_fields f join rdb$relations r on f.rdb$relation_name = r.rdb$relation_name and r.rdb$view_blr is null and (r.rdb$system_flag is null or r.rdb$system_flag = 0) where f.rdb$field_name like '%ColName%' order by 1, f.rdb$field_position;
