Find broken objects in SQL Server

Question

Is there a tool that will find all objects in SQL Server (functions, procs, views) that cannot possibly work because they refer to objects that don\'t exist?

Answer 1

Red Gate Software's SQL Prompt 5 has a Find Invalid Objects feature that might be useful in this situation. The tool goes through the database finding objects that will give an error when executed, which sounds exactly what you want.

You can download a 14-day trial for free, so you can give it a try and see if it helps.
