How to find a specific value that exists in one of the 3 tables

[yaron]

I am trying to find a certain value that exists in 3 tables with identical columns and I am trying to find with this process

DECLARE @SearchValue NVARCHAR(255)
SET @SearchValue = 'YourSearchValue'

-- Search in Table1
SELECT 'Table1' AS TableName, YourColumnName AS MatchedValue
FROM Table1
WHERE YourColumnName = @SearchValue

-- Search in Table2
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Table2' AS TableName, YourColumnName AS MatchedValue
FROM Table2
WHERE YourColumnName = @SearchValue

-- Search in Table3
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Table3' AS TableName, YourColumnName AS MatchedValue
FROM Table3
WHERE YourColumnName = @SearchValue

The problem is that in the search every time I get an error about the highlighted field even when I change the field type


for example the value housenum=273 in the three tables house1,house2,house3

if you have another way its ok

I don't see a 'highlighted' field.

First SELECT line defines field names and types. Not necessary to repeat alias names in subsequent SELECT but shouldn't hurt.
What data type is YourColumnName in each table?

SQL syntax looks fine.
