We have a large database containing a lot of stored procedures.
Now we are updating our database but some stored procedures still use the old structure.
We’ve found most of them using ‘sp_depends’ but some sp’s slipped through.
I was wondering if there isn’t a way to check all stored procedures. If they call for a column that doesn’t exist anymore you get an error.
Thx
I think if you want to be 100% certain then you may wish to use software designed for this exact purpose. For example, RedGate have a product called SQL Dependency Tracker.

I would suggest downloading a free trial and testing the functionality.
