I've got various databases, and what to be sure I am removing something (a view in this case) that is truly orphaned. Is the the correct SQL to be using:
SELECT r.routine_name,
r.routine_definition
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES r
WHERE r.routine_definition LIKE '%my_view_name%'
The problem with it is that these references aren't picking up declarations in stored procedures, and I don't know what else.
I found the SO Question I'd remembered, but it's not helping either. This:
SELECT t.*
FROM SYSCOMMENTS t
WHERE CHARINDEX('my_view_name', t.text) > 0
...is close. I get the body of the stored procedure that I know is using the view, but I'm having trouble getting the actual procedure name.
