I would like to find all the stored procedures that has reference of Functions or called Functions from Store procedures.

Here is the script;

Select 
	Schema_Name(p.schema_id) As ProcedureSchema, p.name As ProcedureName, 
	Schema_Name(f.schema_id) As FunctionSchema, f.name as FunctionName
From sys.sql_expression_dependencies d
Inner Join sys.objects p On 
	p.object_id = d.referencing_id And p.type_desc = 'SQL_STORED_PROCEDURE'
Inner Join sys.objects f On 
	f.object_id = d.referenced_id And f.type In ('AF', 'FN', 'FS', 'IF', 'TF');

How to restore a higher version SQL Server database backup file onto a lower version SQL Server?

We can use functionality called Export Data-Tier Application which generates .bacpac file consisting database schema and data.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/data-tier-applications/export-a-data-tier-application?view=sql-server-ver16

On destination server, you can use Import Data-Tier Application option which creates and populates new database from pre-created .bacpac file

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/data-tier-applications/import-a-bacpac-file-to-create-a-new-user-database?view=sql-server-ver16

If you want just to transfer database schema, you can use Extract Data-Tier Application for creating file and Deploy Data-Tier Application for deploying created database schema.

I’ve tried this process on different versions of SQL Server from SQL 2022 to SQL 2017, SQL 2014 to SQL 2012 and from SQL 2014 to SQL 2008R2 and worked well.

Here is how;

SELECT  
   CONNECTIONPROPERTY('net_transport') AS net_transport,
   CONNECTIONPROPERTY('protocol_type') AS protocol_type,
   CONNECTIONPROPERTY('auth_scheme') AS auth_scheme,
   CONNECTIONPROPERTY('local_net_address') AS local_net_address,
   CONNECTIONPROPERTY('local_tcp_port') AS local_tcp_port,
   CONNECTIONPROPERTY('client_net_address') AS client_net_address

This is a tip to drop/create temp tables in Stored Procedures;

IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#add') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #add
SELECT 
   ...
INTO #add
FROM MyTable
