You can locate it under the _extensions table in the database and disable it.
I don't want to pry but why do you need to disable the K2 plugin through the database?

The database is extremely large(full of spam comments)... the k2 is the problem...maybe some security thing was disable...So after the transfer the site ain't opening...i contact the web hosting company(who did the tranfer) and they said to me that it was a k2 problem.. I want not to loose 10,000 article...! If i disable it i'll loose it?... Btw....are you Greek?

If the issue are the comments you can disable them and clean up the spams from the database. The table is _k2_comments.

I think that you should cleanup the comments table from the database. That is probably your issue. Do that, clean up both site and browser cache and check again.
There is no need to completely disable the whole K2 component.

I believe you are referring to this table _finder_links right?

They have probably data from the spam comments. You could take a look and remove the unwanted data. Maybe you could disable the finder plugin for a while until you sort this out.

To disable the finder plugin (smart search component) and prevent more entries you have to go to the Extensions Manager -> Plugins, select content type and disable the smart search plugin. You can also filter with type finder and disable all smart search plugins.
Check also the redirect table. Is this also large? If it is disable that as well. You can find it under System plugins.

All plugins and extensions are under the _extensions table. There locate the ones I mention and choose to change their status.
