SQL SERVER – Finding Object Dependencies in SSMS – SQL in Sixty Seconds #071

While we are doing development, we create and drop objects. We build new things and we need to understand the relationships between database objects when we are doing various activities in SQL Server. Well, it is indeed very hard to know all, the relationship between various objects in SQL Server. However, with the help of SQL Server 2014 Management Studio, you can for sure do the same task very easily.

You have to go the object of which you want to see properties of and right click over it.

Now click over the option “View Dependencies”. It will bring up a screen listing various dependencies.

I hope this is clear enough. If not, I strongly suggest you watch following quick video where I explain this concept in extremely simple words.
