How can I check sql server dependencies?

Question

Is there a way to find out which base tables are used by views using a user query or stored procedure?

Answer 1

If this is what you will often do, Red Hat SQL Dependency Tracker (no, I don't work for them) is a great tool. I think they have a trial period if you want to try.

Answer 2

You can use the sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities function to search for objects referenced by the specified view:

SELECT DISTINCT 
referenced_schema_name , 
referenced_entity_name 
FROM sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities ('Sales.vSalesPersonSalesByFiscalYears', 'OBJECT');

, sys.sql_expression_dependencies, :

SELECT 
referencing_object_name = o.name, 
referencing_object_type_desc = o.type_desc 
FROM sys.sql_expression_dependencies se 
INNER JOIN sys.objects o 
ON se.referencing_id = o.[object_id] 
WHERE referenced_entity_name = 'Person' AND o.type_desc = 'View'

sql_dependencies:

select OBJECT_NAME(referenced_major_id) as DependantObject
from sys.sql_dependencies
where object_id = object_id('YourViewName')

(, , , ):

with deps (child, parent) as (
    select d.object_id, d.referenced_major_id
    from sys.sql_dependencies d
    where d.object_id = object_id('YourViewName')
    union all
    select d.object_id, d.referenced_major_id
    from sys.sql_dependencies d
    inner join deps on deps.parent = d.object_id
)
select OBJECT_NAME(parent)
from deps
