    <p>The stock answer is "sp_depends", but in SQL 7.0 and 2000 it was not guaranteed to be accurate (that is, up to date). I don't know if they've addressed this in SQL 2005 or 2008, as I rolled my own work-around quite some time ago. This doesn't do exaclty what you want, but it can get you there sooner than otherwise</p> <p>It's based on this query:</p> <pre><code>DECLARE @SearchText varchar(100) SET @SearchText = 'ProductId' SELECT schema_name(ob.schema_id) SchemaName ,ob.name ,ob.type_desc ,len(mo.definition) CodeLength ,mo.definition from sys.sql_modules mo inner join .sys.objects ob on ob.object_id = mo.object_id where mo.definition like '%' + @SearchText + '%' order by case schema_name(ob.schema_id) when 'dbo' then 'A' else 'B' + str(ob.schema_id, 10) end ,ob.type_desc ,ob.name </code></pre> <p>This will search through all the text-type database objects stored in sys.objects that have data/definitions in sys.modules. This covers stored procedures, functions, and views, and might also covers triggers and some constraints (I don't know one way or the other). It does not track synonyms, their definitions are stored in their own system table.</p> <p>The results will return a list of all such objects that contain the specified string. It in no way tries to evaluate the context in which the string appears--if it's a table, column, variable, or comment, it's a hit and gets included. This means your mileage will vary depending on how unique the string your searching for is... but on the flip side, you can look for more than just columns with this.</p> <p>Returned columns are:</p> <ul> <li>SchemaName</li> <li>Name (of object containing the string)</li> <li>type_desc (as from sys.objects)</li> <li>CodeLength (how big is the chunk o' code the string was found in)</li> <li>definition (a copy of said chunk of code. Hmm, I never use this, maybe I should take it out?)</li> </ul>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
