SQL Server Dependencies Is there an easy way to chase down table/stored procedure/function dependencies in SQL Server 2005+?  I've inherited a giant application with lots of tables and even more stored procedures and functions that are long and interlinked.    At the end of the day is there a way to build a dependency tree?  Ideally what I'm looking for goes in both directions:  For a table/procedure - what depends ON it?:  Show me all the stored procedures that eventually reference it (ideally in a tree view such that sub procedures nest out to the bigger procedures that call them)  For a procedure - what does IT depend on?:  Show me all the procedures and tables that a given procedure will (or could) touch when running.  It seems this tool shouldn't be that hard to make and would be incredibly useful for DB maintenance generally.  Is anyone aware of such a thing?  If this doesn't exist, why the heck not?  The built-in functionality in Management Studio is nice but the information does not appear to be complete at all. Let $U\subset\mathbb R^3$ be an open set, and $f:U\to \mathbb R$ be a smooth function. Suppose that the level set $S=f^{-1}(\{0\})$ is non-empty, and that at each $p\in S,$ the gradient $\overrightarrow \nabla f(p)$ is not the zero vector. Then $S$ is a smooth two-dimensional surface in $U$, and $p\mapsto \overrightarrow \eta(p)=\frac{1}{||\overrightarrow \nabla f(p)||}\overrightarrow \nabla f(p)$ defines a smooth unit-length normal vector field along $S$. At each $x\in U,$ write $H(f)_{(x)}$ for the $3\times 3$ Hessian matrix specified by $$(H(f)_{(x)})_{ij}=\frac{\partial^2f}{\partial x_i\partial x_j}(x).$$   Show that, at each $p\in S$, the second fundamental form $II_p: T_p(s)\times T_p(s)\to \mathbb R$ is the symmetric bilinear map    $$II_p(\overrightarrow v,\overrightarrow w)=\frac{-1}{||\overrightarrow \nabla f(p)||}\overrightarrow v\cdot H(f)_{(p)}\overrightarrow w,$$for all $\overrightarrow v ,\overrightarrow w \in T_p(s)$.       (Here, we view the tagent space $T_p(S)$ as the two-dimensional subspace $(span\{ {\overrightarrow \eta(p)}\})^{\bot}$ of $\mathbb R^3$.      Edit: Actually my question is why the second fundamental form under the usual definition can be written in this way.      Definition: The quadratic form $II_p$, defined in $T_p(S)$ by $II_p(v)=-&lt;d  N_p(v),v&gt;$ is called the second fundamental form of $S$ at $p$, where $dN_p:T_p(S)\to T_p(S)$ is the differential of the Gauss map.   Hopefully, I express this problem explicitly. I was just wondering how to prove this statement.   I took a diffrential geometry class last semester, and when I organized my notes this morning, I found this statement, but there was no proof...  Looking forward to an understandable explaination. Thanks in advance.     Edit 2:Furthermore, show that, at each point $p\in S$, the expression   $$\phi_p(z)=det\pmatrix{-H(f)_{(p)}-zI_{3\times 3} &amp; \overrightarrow \nabla f(p)\\\ \pm \overrightarrow \nabla f(p)&amp; 0}$$   (the underlying matrix here is $4\times 4$) defines a second-degree polynomial whose roots $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are $||\overrightarrow \nabla f(p)||k_1$ and $||\overrightarrow \nabla f(p)||k_2$, where $k_1$ and $k_2$ are the principal curvatures of $S$ at $p$.      Also, if a non-zero vector $\pmatrix {\overrightarrow v \\c}$ lies in the kernel of the $4\times 4$ matrix $$\pmatrix{-H(f)_{(p)}-\lambda_jI_{3\times 3} &amp; \overrightarrow \nabla f(p)\\\ \pm \overrightarrow \nabla f(p)&amp; 0},$$   then $\vec v$ is a non-zero element of $T_p(S)$ and lies in the "principal direction" corresponding to $K_j$. I am a newbie in linux and I don't know how to open the Ubuntu Software Center via Terminal!! Please help Best way to encode list names in sharepoint 2013 rest url's? My new laptop came preinstalled with Windows 8. Naively, as I am, I just formatted the harddrive and installed fine old Ubuntu. Now I want to install Windows 8 for dual boot again, but I have no DVD and to download the ISO one needs a product key. That key is not on the back of the laptop anymore but somewhere on the mainboard.  Is there any way to recover the product key from the mainboard using Ubuntu? The SourceForge signon page says I can associate an OpenID with my existing SourceForge account:    I enter my currently-signed-in SourceForge account password I select the custom OpenID URL and enter https://openid.stackexchange.com I'm redirected to https://openid.stackexchange.com/account/login?&lt;session key bits&gt; I enter my openid.stackexchange.com login information there I get the error message:     Cannot Complete Login      Detected an attempt to send an assertion when the identifier () is not owned by the logged in user.    I don't understand what that means. Generalized RBF Kernels There is the notion of Generalized RBF Kernels, for example in "Towards Optimal Bag-of-Features for Object Categorization and Semantic Video Retrieval" from Jiang (1) or in formula (2.72) in  (2).  They define: Gen. RBF Kernel: $e^{-pd(x,y)}$, where (1) says d can be any distance function and (2) requires it to be a metric.  I now have been wondering for a long time: Is a function defined by $e^{-pd(x,y)}$ where d is a metric always a Mercer's Kernel? I think in (2) it sounds like it, but if it were true, not many people know of it, since they are still looking to prove that $e^{-EMD(x,y)}$ is a kernel, where EMD = Earth Mover's Distance, which is a metric.  If its not a Mercer's Kernel - do you know of any counter example? How can I make a list with most used commands in terminal? I recently updated my profile bio (from Arqade) and clicked 'Save and copy changes to all public communities'. This appears to have broken/reset my profile picture on all but Arqade. Note that I did not update my profile picture as part of my changes. Arqade:  Meta SE for comparison:  I haven't touched my profile picture in years. Is this a bug?  Update: It appears my profile pic across all communities has been set back to 'Identicon'. I went on to Stack Overflow and changed my profile picture back to 'Gravitar' and clicked 'Save and copy to all communities' again, but this did not update my profile picture anywhere but SO. (I did the same on Sustainability to be doubly sure). Update 2: This is a persistent bug - I had changed most of my SE communities back to my 'Robotnik' display pic over the past little while. Today I edited my profile again on Arqade, Clicked 'Save and copy' - and the display pic reverted back to identicon again across all sites. Update 3: I have re-uploaded my profile picture and the 'Save and copy' function worked. It appears that this is actually a bug to do with the old images from Gravatar. How to disconnect selected mesh geometry? I don't know how to disconnect a face from the rest of the mesh in edit mode.  This isn't like pressing P to separate the selection into a completely different object. I just want to select a face and disconnect/rip it away from the rest of the mesh but keep it as a part of the original object.  One way to do it would be to duplicate the face with ShiftD and then delete the original face. But I suspect there is a "native" command for disconnecting selected faces and I would like to learn it. Energy momentum tensor from Noether's theorem in the book Quantum Field Theory by Itzykson and Zuber the following derivation for the stress-energy tensor is proposed (p.22):  Assume a Lagrangian density depending on the spacetime coordinates $x$ only through fields and their gradients. Under a translation we have $$\mathcal L (x+a)=\mathcal L[\phi_i(x+a),\partial_\mu\phi_i(x+a)].$$  Consider an infinitesimal $x$-dependent transformation $$\delta\phi_i=\delta a^\mu(x)\partial_\mu\phi_i(x),$$ $$\delta\partial_u\phi_i(x)=\delta a^\nu \partial_\nu\partial_\mu\phi_i(x)+\partial_\mu[\delta a^\nu (x)]\partial_\nu \phi_i(x).$$  The proof then proceeds with variation of the action and integration by parts. But why do we consider an $x$-dependent local transformation instead of a global transformation? How make f[{x,y}] evaluate as f[x,y]? Filling a conical tank I have been working on this problem for about 2 hours and I can't seem to get it, here is exactly what the question reads. "Water is poured into the top of a conical tank at the constant rate of 1 cubic inch per second and flows out of an opening at the3 bottom at a rate of .5 cubic inches per second. The tank has a height of 4 inches, and a radius of 2 inches at the top. How fast is the water level changing when the water is 2 inches high?" My interest in Blender comes from wanting to use it to model physical structures and produce architectural drawings; what I have so far is really impressive, but there doesn't seem to be too much information about my particular interest.   Are there any (Blender-) resources that would be particularly useful for architects? E.g. packages of standard 'elements' like windows, doors, roofs or whatever, or perhaps a discussion group specifically for architects? prevent user creating a duplicate node title how to prevent user creating a duplicate node title for a content type?  I already try uniqueness module () but it's only list out the duplicate content title but not return any error message when user save the new content. Any suggestion module or code? :) Frying Oil Reuse What are some guidelines or rules with regard to filtering and reusing (vegetable/canola/sunflower) oil that has been used for deep frying?  Is it safe and acceptable under some circumstances to filter and keep oil? If so, does it depend on which foods were fried? How long can the filtered oil for be kept for?  Or, is it never appropriate? If not, are the reasons health or flavour related? or both? How can I safely upgrade an Ubuntu installation from one release to another? What should I do before upgrading to ensure it goes smoothly, and is there any clean-up I need to do afterwards?  In particular, do I need to do anything special if I am using packages from PPAs, if I have a graphics card that needs drivers, or if I'm running a custom Linux kernel?  This is a general question , but as example we take Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 12.10 Why Multiplication of zero by any number is zero? If I multiply $a$ by $0$, it means $a$ is added $0$ times, but I am not able to visualize $0$ times! I've recently set up the compiz cube again, and I was very happy to find that that flickering window glitch is gone! However, the cube reflection and deformation plugins are also gone.  I am running a fresh 12.10 install, and I have every compiz plugin package installed (including compiz-plugins-extra, which supposedly contains everything that compiz-fusion-plugins-extra package used to have), but those two plugins are still missing. I haven't been able to find anyone with the same problem.   Any ideas? (thanks!) Complexity of $T(n) = 2T(n/2) + n$
