How to identify particular table's particular column refer in which SPs and UDFs

Hi again, EaswaranP!

This one may get tricky because you have other tables with TranID.  

Here is a basic example, using either sys.syscomments or sys.sql_modules:

/* http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186293.aspx */
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(id), [text]
FROM sys.syscomments
WHERE [text] LIKE '%TranID%';

Select allOpen in new window

/* http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175081.aspx */
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(object_id), [definition]
FROM sys.sql_modules
WHERE [definition] LIKE '%TranID%';

Select allOpen in new window

If you are consistent with use of columns that you have tAuditLog.TranID in procedural usage, you can replace the find text below with the fully qualified name and it should work out.  Otherwise, you can try to search out both the table and column at same time.

SELECT objName = OBJECT_NAME(m.object_id), objType = o.type_desc, m.[definition]
FROM sys.sql_modules m
JOIN sys.objects o ON o.object_id = m.object_id
/* Check for both table and column names. */
WHERE [definition] LIKE '%tAudiLog%' AND [definition] LIKE '%TranID%'
/* 
Filter to stored procedures and functions.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190324.aspx
*/
AND [type] IN ('TF','IF','FN','P')
;

Select allOpen in new window

I hope that helps!

Respectfully yours,

Referencing entities is a good approach and Pinal Dave does a good job explaining usually; therefore, without reading in detail, I suspect I agree. *smile* Good addition, @jogos!

Thanks.
