Message Text The dependencies reported for entity "%.*ls" do not include references to columns. This is either because the entity references an object that does not exist or because of an error in one or more statements in the entity. Before rerunning the query, ensure that there are no errors in the entity and that all objects referenced by the entity exist.

Explanation

The sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities system function will report any column-level dependency for schema-bound references. For example, the function will report all column-level dependencies for an indexed view because an indexed view requires schema binding. However, when the referenced entity is not schema-bound, column dependencies are reported only when all statements in which the columns are referenced can be bound. Statements can be successfully bound only if all objects exist at the time the statements are parsed. If any statement defined in the entity fails to bind, column dependencies will not be reported and the referenced_minor_id column will return 0. When column dependencies cannot be resolved, error 2020 is raised. This error does not prevent the query from returning object-level dependencies.

User Action

Correct any errors identified in the message before error 2020. For example, in the following code example the view Production.ApprovedDocuments is defined on the columns Title, ChangeNumber, and Status in the Production.Document table. The sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities system function is queried for the objects and columns on which the ApprovedDocuments view depends. Because the view is not created using the WITH SCHEMA_BINDING clause, the columns referenced in the view can be modified in the referenced table. The example alters the column ChangeNumber in the Production.Document table by renaming it to TrackingNumber. The catalog view is queried again for the ApprovedDocuments view; however it cannot bind to all the columns defined in the view. Errors 207 and 2020 are returned identifying the problem. To resolve the problem, the view must be altered to reflect the new name of the column.

USE AdventureWorks2022;  
GO  
CREATE VIEW Production.ApprovedDocuments  
AS  
SELECT Title, ChangeNumber, Status  
FROM Production.Document  
WHERE Status = 2;  
GO  
SELECT referenced_schema_name AS schema_name  
,referenced_entity_name AS table_name  
,referenced_minor_name AS referenced_column  
FROM sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities ('Production.ApprovedDocuments', 'OBJECT');  
GO  
EXEC sp_rename 'Production.Document.ChangeNumber', 'TrackingNumber', 'COLUMN';  
GO  
SELECT referenced_schema_name AS schema_name  
,referenced_entity_name AS table_name  
,referenced_minor_name AS referenced_column  
FROM sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities ('Production.ApprovedDocuments', 'OBJECT');  
GO

The query returns the following error messages.

Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Procedure ApprovedDocuments, Line 3  
Invalid column name 'ChangeNumber'.  
Msg 2020, Level 16, State 1, Line 1  
The dependencies reported for entity  
"Production.ApprovedDocuments" do not include references to  
columns. This is either because the entity references an  
object that does not exist or because of an error in one or  
more statements in the entity. Before rerunning the query,  
ensure that there are no errors in the entity and that all  
objects referenced by the entity exist.

The following example corrects the column name in the view.

USE AdventureWorks2022;  
GO  
ALTER VIEW Production.ApprovedDocuments  
AS  
SELECT Title,TrackingNumber, Status  
FROM Production.Document  
WHERE Status = 2;  
GO
