I was looking a query that tell me a list of view using certain view from a table, and found the answer here.

See the code below. Hope this could help someone somewhere.

select view_name from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEW_COLUMN_USAGE
 where column_name='ColumnNameHere'
 and table_name='TableNameHere'

I got this code snippet from my collegue , hope this can be helpful for others too

declare @dbname nvarchar(255)
set @dbname = 'databasename'
backup log @dbname with truncate_only
DBCC SHRINKDATABASE (@dbname, 0)
