Hi all,
I am a graduate assistant in Central Michigan University. Currently, My work is to create a table or a catalog that explains all the details of a table and the fields with in the table. We are the looking for details like, stored procedures or Views or other tables or Reports that are using the particular field or table. How can i capture those details and make it as an automated process, which updates when ever there is an add on in use or something else.

Please help me with this as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Swaroop Govula

SQL Server 2005 has DDL triggers. Check it out in SQL Server Books Online for details.

sqlspec may be able to help you with this, see the link in my sig. it will show you dependency graphs for each object. also you can search the output for any keyword (like a column name) to see where it is referenced.
