• Interesting question.

    Unhelpful explanation with no reference to documentation. I was unable to find anything useful except http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ronang/archive/2007/08/13/db-pro-power-tools-including-t-sql-analysis-dependency-viewing-and-more-refactoring-options.aspx]this (and a repost of it elswhere in the msdn website) and the earlier blog entry that it references.

    I'm not at all clear what the connect entry means - the originator hasn't responded to the question raised in the MS response so it isn't clear what he was suggesting; nor is it at all clear to me whether the suggestion is to replace the table in just the single selected FROM clause (in which case I don't think it's worth cluttering the GUI with it) or in some wider scope (which might make it useful) which isn't defined in the proposal. So I won't be voting for it, because I have no real idea what is being asked for. Nor will I vbote against it (for the same reason).
