Is there a way to search for a proc that populates a table?

found this, maybe it does what you want.

select specific_name from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
where object_definition(object_id(specific_name)) like '%line%'

If it doesn't do it in a block of dynamic sql you can use sp_depends.

Example:


EXEC sp_depends employee

Returns a list of all objects that reference the employee table.

That looks pretty cool.

Any special reason why you used specific_name rather than routine_name column?
