Answer 1

Looks like there is no complete answer for OP question. Most of the answers above don't have either schema name or include other objects (e.g. functions) used in stored procedures.

Full list of tables/views used in stored procedures with schema name and object id

SELECT  DISTINCT
        procObj.[object_id]     AS [ProcObjectId],
        procSchema.[name]       AS [ProcSchema],
        procObj.[Name]          AS [ProcName], 
        tableObj.[object_id]    AS [TableObjectId],
        tableSchema.[name]      AS [TableSchema],
        tableObj.[Name]         AS [TableName]
FROM sys.sql_dependencies AS dep
INNER JOIN sys.objects AS procObj
ON procObj.[object_id] = dep.[object_id]
INNER JOIN sys.schemas AS procSchema 
ON procSchema.[schema_id] = procObj.[schema_id]
INNER JOIN sys.objects AS tableObj
ON tableObj.[object_id] = dep.[referenced_major_id]
INNER JOIN sys.schemas AS tableSchema 
ON tableSchema.[schema_id] = tableObj.[schema_id]
WHERE   procObj.[type] = 'P' 
    -- using this filter we can control dependent object types
    -- e.g. tableObj.[type] IN ('U') - returns tables only
    AND tableObj.[type] IN ('V', 'U')

Note that there is a filter on dependent object types which can be changed (depends on what you want in output results). Full list of type abbreviations is here.

;WITH stored_procedures AS (
SELECT 
o.name AS proc_name, oo.name AS table_name,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(partition by o.name,oo.name ORDER BY o.name,oo.name) AS row
FROM sysdepends d 
INNER JOIN sysobjects o ON o.id=d.id
INNER JOIN sysobjects oo ON oo.id=d.depid
WHERE o.xtype = 'P')
SELECT proc_name, table_name FROM stored_procedures
WHERE row = 1
ORDER BY proc_name,table_name

Answer 3

Here is the sql code for this

To get list of tables used in a stored procedure

;WITH stored_procedures AS (
SELECT 
o.name AS proc_name, oo.name AS table_name,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(partition by o.name,oo.name ORDER BY o.name,oo.name) AS row
FROM sysdepends d 
INNER JOIN sysobjects o ON o.id=d.id
INNER JOIN sysobjects oo ON oo.id=d.depid
WHERE o.xtype = 'P')
SELECT proc_name, table_name FROM stored_procedures
WHERE row = 1
ORDER BY proc_name,table_name

Reverse - To find Stored Procedure Related to Table in Database – Search in All Stored Procedure

There two ways to this

----Option 1
SELECT DISTINCT so.name
FROM syscomments sc
INNER JOIN sysobjects so ON sc.id=so.id
WHERE sc.TEXT LIKE '%tablename%'

----Option 2
SELECT DISTINCT o.name, o.xtype
FROM syscomments c
INNER JOIN sysobjects o ON c.id=o.id
WHERE c.TEXT LIKE '%tablename%'

PS: sp_help and sp_depends does not always return accurate results.

Answer 4

Try more elegant way (but, it's solution works only in MS SQL 2008 or higher) -

SELECT DISTINCT 
      [object_name] = SCHEMA_NAME(o.[schema_id]) + '.' + o.name
    , o.type_desc
FROM sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities ('dbo.usp_test1', 'OBJECT') d
JOIN sys.objects o ON d.referenced_id = o.[object_id]
WHERE o.[type] IN ('U', 'V')
