Solution
Warning: Backup your database before proceeding.
Before running any SQL in this article, create a full backup of your Jira database. This is a database-level operation with no undo other than restoring from backup. Only proceed if you're comfortable running SQL directly against the Jira database, and test on a staging or cloned environment first, wherever possible.
SQL query mentioned below can be used to fetch all pages that contain specific link patterns. For example, the following query will fetch all the pages containing the *https://intuit.abc.xyz.com* link in the page body
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 '%intuit.abc.xyz.com%';Was this helpful?
