Summary
This KB provides different ways to fetch a list of pages which contains a specific link. All SQL queries are for Postgres and might need to be modified to work on other database engines.
Always back up your data before performing any modifications to the database. If possible, test any alter, insert, update, or delete SQL commands on a staging server first.

select c.Contenttype,c.title,c.content_status,s.spacename from content c join bodycontent b on b.contentid = c.contentid

AND c.content_status='current';
select c.Contenttype,c.title,c.content_status,s.spacename from content c join bodycontent b on b.contentid = c.contentid
join spaces s on c.spaceid = s.spaceid
where b.body like '%<weblink>%'
AND c.PREVVER IS NULL; Finally, this SQL statement helps you to get a list of pages which contain a specific link and the page status is "current" in a particular space. In this occasion, please replace <weblink> for the link you are interested in and <spacename> with the actual space name you want to search for.
