• I use this script to extract all fields from all tables.

    select so.[Name] 'Table', sc.ColID 'Seq', sc.[Name] 'Field'

    FROM syscolumns sc

    INNER JOIN sysobjects so ON so.[ID] = sc.[ID]

    WHERE so.xtype in (

    'IT' /*Internal table*/

    ,'U' /*User table */

    ,'V' /*View */

    )

    ORDER BY so.[Name], sc.ColID, sc.[Name]

    I use it to populate an Excel spreadsheet where I put filters on 'Table' and 'Field'.

    Filtering on a field name shows all tables with that field

    Filtering using 'contains' also shows similarly named fields e.g. all fields containing 'Route'

    I can also list all fields in a specific table without going to SSMS.
