Hi List; I'm researching a db and I want to find samples of some of the data. I know based on the documentation for the proposed "new" schema that the db I have access to (the "old" schema) probably has a column in one or more of the user tables called 'region'. I'm looking for a way to query the system tables to find all user tables with a column named region. Any thoughts, help? Thanks in advance.. /Kevin ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
