How do I search for all the columns/field names starting with "XYZ"

[QuicKick]

I would like to do a big search on all field/columns names that contain "XYZ".

I tried below sql but it's giving me an error.

SELECT 

table_name

,column_name

FROM information_schema.columns

WHERE column_name like '%<account>%'

order by table_name, column_name

ERROR states "Table or view not found: information_schema.columns; line 4, pos 5"

@Ian Fox​ :

The error you are receiving suggests that the database you are working with does not have an information_schema.columns table or the user you are logged in as does not have permissions to access it. The information_schema.columns table is a system catalog view that contains information about all columns in all tables in a database, including their names. It is commonly used to search for column names. To search for columns that contain "XYZ", you can use the following SQL statement:

SELECT table_name, column_name 
FROM information_schema.columns 
WHERE column_name LIKE '%XYZ%' 
ORDER BY table_name, column_name;

If you still encounter an error, you may want to check if you have the necessary permissions to query the information_schema.columns table, or if the table is available in your database.
