Question

I have add a parameter to an existing oracle stored proc. Is there a simple way to find other stored proc that would have to be modified?

I’m using Oracle SQL Developper.

Answer 1

You can query DBA_DEPENDENCIES (or ALL_DEPENDENCIES or USER_DEPENDENCIES) directly to get that information

SELECT owner,
       name,
       type
  FROM all_dependencies
 WHERE referenced_owner = <<owner of procedure>>
   AND referenced_name  = <<name of procedure>>

In SQL Developer, you can also pull up the procedure and click the “References” tab to get a list of the objects that reference the procedure.
