• there's a pair of functions that you can use to get either the things the views reference, or the things that the view consumes.

    --objects that USE the views

    SELECT

    schema_name(vwz.schema_id) As SchemaName,vwz.Name as viewName,fn.*

    from sys.views vwz

    cross apply sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities (quotename(schema_name(vwz.schema_id)) + '.' + quotename(vwz.name), 'OBJECT') fn

    --objects like tables or other views the views reference

    SELECT

    schema_name(vwz.schema_id) As SchemaName,vwz.Name as viewName,fn.*

    from sys.views vwz

    cross apply sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities (quotename(schema_name(vwz.schema_id)) + '.' + quotename(vwz.name), 'OBJECT') fn
