Tables usually do not have digits in their names, and if they do they have a special meaning. We use them to name backup tables with the date of a backup (of a specific table while performing a sensitive operation), archival tables with year or for partitioning tables.

The query below finds all tables with digits in their names.

Query

select schema_name(t.schema_id) as schema_name,
       t.name as table_name
from sys.tables as t
where t.name like '%[0-9]%'
order by schema_name,
         table_name;

Columns

• schema_name - name of the schema where the table was found
• table_name - name of the table found

Rows

• One row: represents a table
• Scope of rows: all found tables
• Ordered by: schema name, table name
