I created a table on development environment for testing purpose and there are few sp's which are refreing this table. Now I have have to drop this table as well as identify all sp's which are referring this table. I am facing difficulty to find list of all sp's. Please suggest some query by assuming that the table name is 'x' and database is sql server 2005.
