Hello All,
Is it possible in sql to find out that
'Among the large no of stored procedures in database where the
a particular column of table is updated and the name of the stored
procedure in which column is updated?'
for example .I want to search where from n number of stored procedures where the 'flag' field is updated to true'

if yes how it is possibe (I can view the object dependencies for stored procedure or table ,is it possible for viewing object dependencies for column of table?)

When I have a problem like this, I do one of two things:

1. script out all procs, and then search them with my favorite code editor. this will script out everything for you: http://www.codeplex.com/scriptdb

2. generate a chm for the database using sqlspec, and then search the chm (it's indexed) for all pages containing the text you seek. this is very handy. see the link in my sig for a free copy of sqlspec.

quick and dirty




select
Routine_name
from
information_schema.routines
where
routine_definition like '%your column name%'
and
routine_definition like '%update%'


Then you can look in that list to see if your column is being updated.
