Search for a specified GUID (or its part) in all databases (updated)
A GUID searching utility. Please see the script for details.
/*****************************************************************************************************

* Author Rafal Skotak
* Purpose Procedure searches for a GUIDs containing specified number in all or one selected database
* in all or selected table
* Date 2008.01.24
* 2008.04.17 Updated - regarding Barnold's remark - @guid is now a varchar(36)
* 2011.02.18 Updated - fixed bug
