Search an Oracle database for tables with specific column names?

To find all tables with a particular column:

select owner, table_name from all_tab_columns where column_name="ID";

To find tables that have any or all of the 4 columns:

select owner, table_name, column_name
from all_tab_columns
where column_name in ('ID', 'FNAME', 'LNAME', 'ADDRESS');

To find tables that have all 4 columns (with none missing):

select owner, table_name
from all_tab_columns
where column_name in ('ID', 'FNAME', 'LNAME', 'ADDRESS')
group by owner, table_name
having count(*) = 4;
