Hello,
We need to get a tool to identify all unreferenced objects in our database,
for which Apex SQLClean seemed to be perfect, but there is a bug in it which
stops it from working in our environment, and it looks like they arn't going
to fix it in time for the start of our project.

Does anyone know of a good alternative, which effectively works the same,
and can check inside source code / compiled code?

there are lots on the market - you just need to decide if you want to
purchase as you may already have licenses wth Apex or if you can obtain a
freeware/shareware version.

Have you looks at LockwoodTech SQLClean 2.7?
(http://www.tucows.com/preview/323311)

They may even be part of Apex. Not sure. But I'm sure you'll be able to tell
once you have a look at it.

Brian Lockwood is the honcho behind ApexSQL, and the link to
LockwoodTech.com goes to ApexSQL.

So, ...

Nice thing about ApexSQL is that the product price includes all future
product upgrades. And they have a rolling upgrade schedule. I've used and
recommend several of their products and have found them to be a consistent
value.

True, but it doesn't work for us! Do you know anything similar?
