How to find name of the stored procedure using Column name in Oracle 11g

I have hundre开发者_C百科ds of stored procedures and i want to find out the name of the procedure which uses the particular column name in query

This will do it, but might produce false positives for generic column names

SELECT DISTINCT type, name
FROM dba_source
WHERE owner = 'OWNER'
AND text LIKE '%COLUMN_NAME%';

where OWNER is the schema which owns the stored procedures you want to search and COLUMN_NAME is the column name that you want to find. If you don't use mixed case column names then you can replace the last line with

AND UPPER(text) LIKE '%COLUMN_NAME%';

and enter the column name in capitals to get a case insensitive search.

There is no guaranteed way, but you can search user/all/dba_source using regexp_like to check for whole words, and cross-reference that with user/all/dba_dependencies to narrow down the list of packages to check.

select s.name, s.type, s.line, s.text
from   user_source s
where  ltrim(s.text,chr(9)||' ') not like '--%'
and    regexp_like(lower(s.text),'\Wyour_column_name_here\W')
and    (s.name, s.type) in
       ( select d.name, d.type
         from   user_dependencies d
         where  d.referenced_owner = user
         and    d.referenced_name = 'YOUR_TABLE_NAME_HERE' );

or if there could be references to it from other schemas,

select s.owner, s.name, s.type, s.line, s.text
from   all_source s
where  ltrim(s.text,chr(9)||' ') not like '--%'
and    regexp_like(lower(s.text),'\Wyour_column_name_here\W')
and    (s.owner, s.name, s.type) in
       ( select d.owner, d.name, d.type
         from   all_dependencies d
         where  d.referenced_owner = user
         and    d.referenced_name = 'YOUR_TABLE_NAME_HERE' );

You might make it just use select distinct s.owner, s.name, s.type ... to get a list of objects to investigate.
