i am not sure but you can do like that ..
you can use "user_tab_columns" table where you will get tables name and column name ...select record one by one from this table and use like command on that colomn

Hmm, that might work if you have designed your tables by wrapping column names in double quotes but NORMALLY column names are in upper case.
Also, I think that you may have mis-understood the question (or maybe I did) I believe that the OP is looking for all tables that CONTAIN DATA equal to (for example) 'chennai' not alll tables that contain columns CALLED chennai.
As Michel, correctly (as per usual) pointed out, the OP will have to select all columns from all tables to get the answer to his question.
Once again, Michel, you beat me to the punch
