Manually reviewing hundreds of stored procedures is time consuming. The sp_depends system stored procedure doesn’t always give proper / correct results when the object creation order is different or following deferred name resolution. The output below for the stored procedure SELECT_Account is missing the ENTRY and ACCOUNT tables.
SQL Server docs state that the procedure is in maintenance mode and may be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Microsoft recommend using the sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities and sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities instead.
DECLARE @sp nvarchar(100) SET @sp = N'dbo.SELECT_Account' -- Objects that depends on stored procedure @sp SELECT referencing_schema_name, referencing_entity_name FROM sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities(@sp, 'OBJECT') -- Objects on which the stored procedure @sp depends SELECT referenced_schema_name, referenced_entity_name, referenced_minor_name, referenced_id, referenced_minor_id, referenced_class, referenced_class_desc FROM sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities(@sp, 'OBJECT') SELECT referenced_schema_name, referenced_entity_name, referencing_minor_id, referenced_id, referenced_minor_id FROM sys.sql_expression_dependencies WHERE referencing_id = OBJECT_ID(@sp)
Here is the correct output for the stored procedure SELECT_Account:
