Re: Design Table; Columns/Description get with SP???



It looks to me like you create your extended properties with this
function. Are there any default functions to get the information that
has been manually entered in the description field?

That description is stored as an extended property. Look at the

how to retrieve this.

Hi,

I'm using stored procedures to create an online data dictionary for
all of our dbs and I thought it would be very cool if there was a way
that I could somehow pull the columns description entered in the table
design view (lower pane) of EM. I have poked around, but have not
found a way. It is my suspcion that this may be impossible. Does any
smart person out there know?

Also want to pull pks and fks and other constraints, which I think I
can figure out how to do, but if anyone has any pointers, that would
also be appreciated.

Many Thanks,
