# DBGrep

Oracle PL/SQL stored procedure to search a regular expression across all text

columns of a database.

To import the `grep()` procedure in your current database, download the

file [grep.sql](grep.sql) and then run the following command in SQLPlus:

```text

SQL> @grep.sql

```

The `grep()` procedure takes two arguments: the name of the schema to

search and a pattern compatible with the SQL operator LIKE. For

example:

```text

SQL> EXECUTE grep('HR', '%John%');

```

The output of the procedure is in CSV format (without headers). Each

row is a match found in the database. For each match, the columns are

the searched pattern, the schema name, the table name, the column name

and the column value. For example, the output might look like this:

```text

"%John%","HR","employees","first_name","John"

"%John%","HR","employees","full_name","John Doe"

"%John%","HR","employees","email_address","[email protected]"

```

See [test.sql](test.sql) for a full-fledged example.
