For views/tables, you can use the sa_dependent_views system procedure.

It is much more problematic for other objects such as stored procedures. In SQL Anywhere, stored procedures are not "compiled" when created - they only need to be syntactically correct. Name resolution is done when the procedure is loaded, and with SQL Invoker semantics the objects that a procedure might reference will be different for each invoker. Also, since procedures/triggers/UDFs all permit EXECUTE IMMEDIATE, it can be very difficult to determine accurately which objects are referenced from a procedure/trigger/UDF.

Thanks a lot. I'll take a look at sa_dependent_views.
