List of Stored Procedure from Table

Question

I have a huge database with 100\'s of tables and stored procedures. Using SQL Server 2005, how can I get a list of stored procedures that are doing an insert or update opera

Answer 1

sys.sql_dependencies has a list of entities with dependencies, including tables and columns that a sproc includes in queries. See this post for an example of a query that gets out dependencies. The code snippet below will get a list of table/column dependencies by stored procedure

select sp.name       as sproc_name
      ,t.name        as table_name
      ,c.name        as column_name
 from sys.sql_dependencies d
 join sys.objects t
   on t.object_id = d.referenced_major_id
 join sys.objects sp
   on sp.object_id = d.object_id
 join sys.columns c
   on c.object_id = t.object_id
  and c.column_id = d.referenced_minor_id
where sp.type = 'P'
