SQL Server: How to show tables with a column name like...

In SQL Server, I often seek which table has a column with a name that I am not sure about. For example, I need the table and column name for a column like "current loan balance".

I use this query to find which table has a column name like...:

use loan_db

select tab.name table_name, col.name column_name
  from sysobjects tab
  left join syscolumns col on tab.id = col.id and tab.xtype = 'U'
 where col.name like '%current%balance%'
 order by 1,2

The only thing you have to work out then is the LIKE clause.
