Find list of procs & funcs loading a table

Question

Is there a simple way to find out which are all the procedures & functions are inserting or updating data in particular inserting data into a table. Like in sybase we have "sp_depends table_name" which will list out the procs & funcs, like wise do we have similar way in Oracle to find out.
Thanks a lot.

You can try DBA/ALL/USER_DEPENDENCIES view : please read http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e17125/adfns_dependencies.htm#ADFNS99966. Note that the dependency stored in database dictionary is not linked to the type of DML statement.
For example:
SQL>
SQL> create table t1(x1 int);
Table created.
SQL> create table t2(x2 int);
Table created.
SQL> create procedure p1 is
  2  begin
  3  insert into t1 values(1);
  4  end;
  5  /
Procedure created.
SQL> show errors
No errors.
SQL> create procedure p2 is
  2  begin
  3  update t2 set x2=2 where x2=1;
  4  end;
  5  /
Procedure created.
SQL> show errors
No errors.
SQL> column name format a10
SQL> column r_name format a10
SQL> select name, type, referenced_name r_name, referenced_type r_type
  2  from user_dependencies
  3  where name in ('P1','P2') and referenced_type = 'TABLE' and type='PROCEDURE
