MSSQLServer has got sp_depends system sp to display the dependencies for a stored procedure, table and view. sp_depends does not support to display the User-defined data type dependencies. For custom database, we will create user defined data types (UDDT) and add this UDDT to a column/variable in a table/stored procedure. This sp (UDTDepends) will help to display the User-defined data type dependencies in a database for a Tables and Stored Procedure.
Compile this sp in a database and execute the same. It will display the dependencies for the user defined data types if it exists in a database.
Criticize are welcome.
