Im working on this large DB which has a lot of the business knowledge

  • 0

Im working on this large DB which has a lot of the business knowledge embedded in the SPs[I know!] and there is a lot of chaining between the SPs. i.e one stored proc calling another.

Im want to find out a list of stored procedures which update a particular column. How would I do that.

Using showplan_All as outlined in SQL Table and column Parser for stored procedures doesnt work for me, because this is a shared dev db.

using a Sp from master db scanning system text as described is not feasible because I dont have access to the master db.

So how can I find this informaion?

  1. Have you tried this : EXEC sp_depends @objname = [table name of the column you are interested in].

    So for example, if you had a column named Price in a table named Product, you would execute this: EXEC sp_depends @objname = N'Product'.

    Simply executing this would give you list of all sps, views, etc which depend on that particular table.

    I use this all the time as I work with a db which has over 400 tables 🙂
