I have one user defined function , but i couldn’t find where the function is and where the function is using.. anyone pls help me to overcome this one.?

The below script will help you find all the references within each database.

DECLARE @ObjectName NVARCHAR(100)
SET @ObjectName = N'split' --Give your function/object name
Declare @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = N'
USE [?]
SELECT DISTINCT
SourceSchema = OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(sed.referencing_id)
,SourceObject = OBJECT_NAME(sed.referencing_id)
,ReferencedDB = ISNULL(sre.referenced_database_name, DB_NAME())
,ReferencedSchema = ISNULL(sre.referenced_schema_name,
 OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(sed.referencing_id))
,ReferencedObject = sre.referenced_entity_name
FROM sys.sql_expression_dependencies sed
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities(OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(sed.referencing_id) + ''.'' + OBJECT_NAME(sed.referencing_id), ''OBJECT'') sre
WHERE sed.referenced_entity_name like ''' + @ObjectName + ''' AND sre.referenced_entity_name like ''' + @ObjectName + '''';

EXEC sp_MSforeachdb  @MyQuery

CONNECTIONPROPERTY, IP Address TCP Port Product Name Edition SP, SERVERPROPERTY, SQL Server details

Sometimes DBA’s need to quickly extract few SQL Server details like
SQL Server Name
Instance Name
IP Address
TCP Port
Product Name
Edition
SP Level
Product Version
Collation

Many a times we extract this information by running multiple queries or toggling multiple windows, this T-SQL script will help you to extract same information through a single execution.
You can download T-SQL script from Microsoft gallery.

Basically in this script I have demonstrated how to use SERVERPROPERTY and CONNECTIONPROPERTY functions available in SQL Server 2008 and higher.
