This procedure produces a formatted report to list which tables, views and table functions have a column of the specified name. This is particularly useful in systems that do not enforce referential integrity or when schema changes are being evaluated.

When changing schema or modifying an application it is often necessary to determine when a column from a specific table is used. This procedure produces a formatted report (when outputting from query analyzer or management studio in text mode) that specifies all of the procedures, views, functions and triggers that use the designated table.column.

I have a table (dbo.beer) with this data:
| BeerID | BeerName | brewer | beerdescription |
| ----------- | -------------------- | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1 | Becks | Interbrew | Beck's is a German-style pilsner beer known for its golden color, full-bodied taste, and a crisp, clean finish with floral and fruity hop aromas, brewed according to the German purity law |
| 2 | Fat Tire | New Belgium | Toasty malt, gentle sweetness, flash of fresh hop bitterness. The malt and hops are perfectly balanced. |
| 3 | Mac n Jacks | Mac & Jack's Brewery | This beer erupts with a floral, hoppy taste, followed by a well rounded malty middle, finishing with a nicely organic hop flavor. Locally sourced two row grain and a blend of specialty malts give our amber its rich taste. |
| 4 | Alaskan Amber | Alaskan Brewing | Alaskan Brewing Amber Ale is an "alt" style beer, meaning it's fermented slowly and at colder temperatures, resulting in a well-balanced, richly malty, and long-lasting flavor profile with a clean, pleasing aftertaste. |
| 8 | Kirin | Kirin Brewing | Kirin Ichiban is a Lager-type beer, which means it is fermented at low temperatures and offers a light and refreshing texture with a smooth and balanced flavor. |
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Beer] ( [BeerID] [int] NOT NULL IDENTITY(1, 1), [BeerName] [varchar] (20) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL, [brewer] [varchar] (20) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL, [beerdescription] [varchar] (max) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY] GOI run this code:
SET TEXTSIZE 20; SELECT b2.BeerName , b2.beerdescription FROM dbo.Beer AS b2; GOWhat is returned? See possible answers
