Find Table Usage

,

Creates a printable report of all stored procedures, views, triggers and user-defined functions that reference any of the tables passed into the procedure.

Wrote this to easily list items affected by table changes when working in a fast-paced development environment developing a shrink wrapped product undergoing many schema changes.

Split function is listed after sp definintion

--Check if proc exists before creating
IF EXISTS (SELECT name 
   FROM   dbo.sysobjects 
   WHERE  name = N'usp_FindTableUsage' 
   AND   xtype = 'P')
    DROP PROCEDURE dbo.usp_FindTableUsage
GO

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.usp_FindTableUsage
@vcTableList varchar(8000) 
AS
/************************************************************************************************
DESCRIPTION:Creates prinatable report of all stored procedures, views, triggers
and user-defined functions that reference any of the
tables passed into the proc.

PARAMETERS:
@vcTableList - comma delimited list of table name
for which usage is being sought.

REMARKS:@vcTableList may not be greater than 8000 characters and
there may not be any spaces between/after names and comma 
delimiters.

To print the output of this report in Query Analyzer select
the execute mode to be file (icon just to left of check mark)
and you will be prompted for a file name to save as. Alternately
you can select the execute mode to be text, run the query, set
the focus on the results pane and then select File/Save from
the menu.

The split function must be installed in the same database to
use this procedure.  

This procedure must be installed in the database where it will
be run due to it's use of database system tables.
