Prior to go-live test transactions where preform in this company. All data prior to 11/1/2012 was cleared from the system except master and set-up records. On the Inventory TB 2 old transactions show that are not found in item transaction history or the stock status report. I have reviewed the POP receipt tables and Inventory transaction tables and I cannot find these transactions anywhere and I’ve ran every remove document utility that applies.
How do I remove them from the Inventory TB?

I have the same question (0)Hi Donnette,
I cannot read your screenshot, but at this point I would use a SQL query to find which tables those records live in so that you could remove them. I wish I knew who wrote this SQL statement so that I could give him credit, but here is a copy of the article:
***************************************************************************************************************
While browsing the SQL Server newsgroups, every once in a while, I see a request for a script that can search all the columns of all the tables in a given database for a specific keyword. I never took such posts seriously. But then recently, one of my network administrators was troubleshooting a problem with Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM). MOM uses SQL Server for storing all the computer, alert and performance related information. He narrowed the problem down to something specific, and needed a script that can search all the MOM tables for a specific string. I had no such script handy at that time, so we ended up searching manually.
That's when I really felt the need for such a script and came up with this stored procedure "SearchAllTables". It accepts a search string as input parameter, goes and searches all char, varchar, nchar, nvarchar columns of all tables (only user created tables. System tables are excluded), owned by all users in the current database. Feel free to extend this procedure to search other datatypes.
The output of this stored procedure contains two columns:
- 1) The table name and column name in which the search string was found
- 2) The actual content/value of the column (Only the first 3630 characters are displayed)
Here's a word of caution, before you go ahead and run this procedure. Though this procedure is quite quick on smaller databases, it could take hours to complete, on a large database with too many character columns and a huge number of rows. So, if you are trying to run it on a large database, be prepared to wait (I did use the locking hint NOLOCK to reduce any locking). It is efficient to use Full-Text search feature for free text searching, but it doesn't make sense for this type of ad-hoc requirements.
Create this procedure in the required database and here is how you run it:
--To search all columns of all tables in Pubs database for the keyword "Computer"
EXEC SearchAllTables 'Computer'
GO
Here is the complete stored procedure code:
CREATE PROC SearchAllTables
(
@SearchStr nvarchar(100)
)
