sql server - T-SQL: sp_depends with a cursor -


i have bunch of views in db dependencies listed for. currently, i'm using 'sp_depends' sproc this. speed process, i'm attempting use sp_depends sproc in cursor iterates on list of views. however, i'm not having luck , i've spent embarrassing amount of time trying "shotgun" fixit. below i've got far.

declare @viewnames table (      viewname varchar(255) ) insert @viewnames select name  [amf_article].sys.views  declare @tablecursor cursor,          @viewname varchar(100); set @tablecursor = cursor select viewname @viewnames  open @tablecursor fetch next @tablecursor @viewname while(@@fetch_status = 0) begin      declare @sql varchar(max)     set @sql = 'sp_depends ''[dbo].' + @viewname + ''     print @sql     exec @sql   fetch next @tablecursor @viewname end 

i think going on quoting combined exec call. can't single quotes match up, , when do, still tells me no. when run statement

sp_depends '[dbo].[v_amf_distinct_products]' 

all well, in loop, not much.

any appreciated.

aside performance considerations, take @ changed version of script , see if works you:

declare @tablecursor cursor declare @viewname sysname; declare @schemaname sysname;  set @tablecursor = cursor     select ss.name schemaname, sv.name viewname sys.views sv     join sys.schemas ss on ss.schema_id=sv.schema_id  open @tablecursor fetch next @tablecursor @schemaname, @viewname while @@fetch_status = 0 begin     declare @sql varchar(max)     set @sql = 'sp_depends '''+quotename(@schemaname) + '.' + quotename(@viewname) + ''''     print @sql     exec(@sql)     fetch next @tablecursor @schemaname, @viewname end close @tablecursor deallocate @tablecursor

to exclude cursor logic, can use local variable assignment below:

declare @sql nvarchar(max)='' select @sql += 'sp_depends '''+quotename(ss.name) + '.' + quotename(sv.name) + ''';'     sys.views sv     join sys.schemas ss on ss.schema_id=sv.schema_id  exec(@sql)
