SP and function dependencies

  • Comments posted to this topic are about the item SP and function dependencies

  • i m getting the foll. error:

    Warning: Null value is eliminated by an aggregate or other SET operation.

    my stored proc is calling a scalar valued function.

  • If you are running SQL 2008, you can use sys.sql_expression_dependencies to determine the dependencies.

    We use the following code to build the objects in the correct order. Of course, this can only be run on a database that already has all the objects created, which is usually our Dev instance. This code has been modified a bit because we really use it to generate an ordered code script but this gives you the raw output.

  • It's just a warning, can you see the function in the results table?

  • Sounds good. No, this was written on 05', I'm sure it's lot better in 08'.

  • Hmm - this does not appear to list the same stored procedures I see with view dependencies?

    And I guess you should truncate Tree between runs?

  • what value i have to give to parameter name @sp-2 sysname in the procedure to execute as shown given below

    create procedure dba_GetDependencies1 @sp-2 sysname

  • Thanks for the script.
