How can I find all the tables in MySQL with specific column names in them?

information-schema, mysql

Solution

To get all tables with columns `columnA` or `ColumnB` in the database `YourDatabase`:

SELECT DISTINCT TABLE_NAME 
    FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
    WHERE COLUMN_NAME IN ('columnA','ColumnB')
        AND TABLE_SCHEMA='YourDatabase';

Problem

I have 2-3 different column names that I want to look up in the entire database and list out all tables which have those columns. Is there any easy script?
