How to search a column name from a MySQL database?

Try this:

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

Retrieve it from INFORMATION_SCHEMA COLUMNS Table

Query

select table_name, column_name 
from information_schema.columns 
where column_name like '%search_keyword%'; -- change search_keyword accordingly

Or if you want to search for exact column name then no need of LIKE.

where column_name = 'column_name_to_be_find';
