Problem : - During project development I got the requirement that I have to modified the column name of the table which is used in the no of procedure i.e i have to found all procedure related to that table and modify it

For the above problem following are the solution that i used

First :
I follow the following step to get list of stored procedure in sql server 2005 management studio

Right click on Table name >> View dependencies



Which list all the procedure and table related to it




Second

Shortest way which list out all procedure related to table

SQL
select
so.name,
sc.text
from
sysobjects so
inner join syscomments sc on so.id = sc.id
where
sc.text like '%ROLES%'-- name of the table 
and sc.text like '%select%'--found procedure where select * from table name used 


Advantage of this :
By the above query i can list out only those stored procedure which is contain select * table name

if i have to list stored procedure which contain update table name than i just have to change my filter condition


The above query is very useful when your table field name get change you have to modify the all stored procedure which is using it
