Find database location of a table - sql

Question

I have several databases in my SQL Server 2008. And I forgot where some tables from, so I need to ask if there's a such query that finds the database location of a certain table?
I need something goes like this:
SELECT DATABASE_NAME FROM SQLSERVER WHERE TABLE= "TBL_PRODUCTS"
Addition:
Now, i need to know the database location of certain Views and Stored Procedures
Something like this:
SELECT DATABASE_NAME FROM SQLSERVER WHERE VIEW= "VW_PRODUCTS"
SELECT DATABASE_NAME FROM SQLSERVER WHERE StoredProcedure= "SP_PRODUCTS"
Thanks!

Answer 1

The following procedure will do the job:
CREATE PROCEDURE usp_FindTableNameInAllDatabase
#TableName VARCHAR(256)
AS
DECLARE #DBName VARCHAR(256)
DECLARE #varSQL VARCHAR(512)
DECLARE #getDBName CURSOR
SET #getDBName = CURSOR FOR
SELECT name
FROM sys.databases
CREATE TABLE #TmpTable (DBName VARCHAR(256),
SchemaName VARCHAR(256),
TableName VARCHAR(256))
OPEN #getDBName
FETCH NEXT
FROM #getDBName INTO #DBName
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET #varSQL = 'USE ' + #DBName + ';
INSERT INTO #TmpTable
SELECT '''+ #DBName + ''' AS DBName,
SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS SchemaName,
name AS TableName
FROM sys.tables
WHERE name LIKE ''%' + #TableName + '%'''
EXEC (#varSQL)
FETCH NEXT
FROM #getDBName INTO #DBName
END
CLOSE #getDBName
DEALLOCATE #getDBName
SELECT *
FROM #TmpTable
DROP TABLE #TmpTable
GO
EXEC usp_FindTableNameInAllDatabase 'Address'
GO
The result would look like that:

Answer 2

Do this
Use Master
Go
select
'select '''+CAST(name as varchar(200))+''' from '+CAST(name as varchar(200))+'.sys.tables where name = yourTableName'
from sysdatabases
replacing yourTableName with the name of your table, with ' '
You will get selects; then run those and will get the results.
If there are more than 100 databases, use results to text, because to grid, you will only get 100 selects maximum
