Get all table names with a given column name

All, is there a way of getting all table names that contain a column
name?
I'm looking at a DB that has 125+ tables and I'm interested in finding
all table names that contain the column order_date.
How can I do it?
TIA,
SashiSelect table_name from information_Schema.columns where
column_name='column name'

One method is to query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA views:

SELECT
c.TABLE_SCHEMA,
c.TABLE_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES t
JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS c ON
t.TABLE_SCHEMA = c.TABLE_SCHEMA AND
t.TABLE_NAME = c.TABLE_NAME
WHERE
t.TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE' AND
c.COLUMN_NAME = 'column order_date'
ORDER BY
c.TABLE_SCHEMA,
c.TABLE_NAME

Hope this helps.
