It won't cause any issues to the operation of the server or your application. Restoring them is a little more work. SQL Server creates te dependencies as the dependent objects are compiled. So to refresh the sysdepends table, you'd have to basically drop and recreate all the objects that are dependent on the table that you've modified.

>Hi All!
> I changed the data type of one field in my table from numeric to varchar, however, after changing the data type and saving the updates, when I right-click on the table and select "show dependencies" I do not see any dependencies for that table. Would this cause a problem down the road? How can I get my dependencies back?
