How to get the TARGET tables from a stored procedure - sql

Question

I am aware of this query that can pull referenced tables from a SQL Server stored procedure.
For example, if I have this stored procedure:
UPDATE tbl1
SET symbol = tbl2.symbol, symbol2 = tbl2.symbol2
FROM tbl1
JOIN tbl2 ON tbl1.PK = tbl2.PK
This query:
SELECT Name
FROM sys.procedures
WHERE OBJECT_DEFINITION(OBJECT_ID) LIKE '%TableNameOrWhatever%'
and this one:
SELECT
o.name
FROM
sys.sql_modules sm
INNER JOIN sys.objects o ON
o.object_id = sm.object_id
WHERE
sm.definition LIKE '%<table name>%'
both return tbl1 & tbl2 as the response.
My question is this: tb11 is ReadWrite as the SQL shows, and tbl2 is ReadOnly.
How do I update my queries to make the distinction?
So my output should be:
Response
========
tbl1, ReadWrite
tbl2, ReadOnly
Thanks!

Try sys.sql_dependencies, eg
select object_name(d.referenced_major_id) referenced_object,
object_name(d.object_id) referenced_by,
max(cast(d.is_updated as int)) is_updated
from sys.sql_dependencies d
join sys.objects o
on d.object_id = o.object_id
where o.type_desc = 'SQL_STORED_PROCEDURE'
group by d.referenced_major_id, d.object_id
order by d.object_id
But beware that procedures with deferred name resolution and stored procedures that access tables with dynamic SQL won't be tracked

The DMV sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities contains this information.
The following query should get you exactly what you need
SELECT
name,
referenced_entity_name,
is_updated
FROM sys.procedures p
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities(SCHEMA_NAME(p.schema_id) + '.' + p.name,'OBJECT') r
WHERE referenced_minor_name IS NULL;
