Do you know if there is another way to do this sort of search in SQL *without* specifying column names?

After reading the posts that I got I think I may have to look for a full text search tool or do something like writting my own where I load the file into a array and filtering out the records that don't contain the text and passing the resulting array to my content engine which uses DBI as the page construction engine.

Oh well...thanks for the insight.
