SQL Dependency Tracker - 2.5
Learning SQL Dependency Tracker - 2.5
Getting started
SQL Dependency Tracker™ enables you to track dependencies within and between Microsoft® SQL Server™ databases.
This is useful, for example, in a development environment when changes to a database are planned. Before the changes can be safely made to the database schema, it is important to know which other parts of the schema will be affected by the changes. The removal of a column from a table, for example, will affect any stored procedures that reference that column. In order to maintain the integrity of the database, these dependents will also have to be changed.
SQL Dependency Tracker is compatible with SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005, and SQL Server 2008.
You can use SQL Dependency Tracker to
- Select objects to be changed and view their dependencies
- Graphically represent dependencies
- View objects' properties and creation SQL scripts
- Analyze any references to external databases
- Print a detailed dependency diagram
Worked example
Adding tables to two databases - a simple change impact analysis.
