Year go, when XBase was popular, there were tools help you generate a list of proc and function flow and the tables for system analysis purposes. Nothing like that exists today for SQLServer databases?

Given a sql server database (7/2000/2005) with no documentation what so ever, how could we analyse it and identify its general logic and functionality? For example, we would need to know (1) the purpose of each table and each stored proc; (2) the amount of times each one of them is called and who is calling who? Any handy tool/script (preferably free) currently exists for that purpose? Please advise. Thanks.
