Thanks a lot.

Here is an excellent source for information on Extended Properties by Glenn Berry

http://sqlserverperformance.wordpress.com/2011/01/10/fun-with-extended-properties-in-sql-server-2008/

which I believe will provide you with the information you requested.

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

For my own learning experience, following Glenn Berry's blog posting here is a query I fashioned

DECLARE @LookF VARCHAR(9)

SET @LookF = 'procedure'

SELECT

CAST(Value AS nvarchar(500)) AS [MS_Description]

FROM sys.extended_properties

WHERE CAST(Value AS nvarchar(500)) LIKE ('%'+@lookf+'%')

and using AdventureWorks2012 it worked ..

Please post back the T-SQL that you used in your situation, so that others with a similar problem can benefit.

Hi Ron,

Following is the TSql I used:

SELECT OBJECT_NAME(EXP.major_id) AS TableName,

C.name AS ColumnName,

EXP.name AS PropertyName,

EXP.value AS PropertyValue

FROM sys.extended_properties AS EXP

LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.columns AS C

ON C.object_id = EXP.major_id

AND C.column_id = EXP.minor_id

WHERE EXP.class_desc = 'OBJECT_OR_COLUMN'

Kind Regards

this is a view that I create to show me all the extended properties:

CREATE VIEW VW_CURRENT_EXTENDED_PROPERTIES

AS

SELECT

'' AS [Object_Schema],

DB_NAME() AS [Object_Name],

'DATABASE' AS [ObjectType],

'' AS [ColumnName],

propz.[class],

propz.[class_desc],

propz.[major_id],

propz.[minor_id],

propz.[name],

propz.[value]

FROM sys.extended_properties propz

WHERE propz.[class] = 0

UNION ALL

SELECT

SCHEMA_NAME(objz.schema_id) AS [Object_Schema],

objz.name AS [Object_Name],

objz.type_desc AS [ObjectType],

'' AS [ColumnName],

propz.[class],

propz.[class_desc],

propz.[major_id],

propz.[minor_id],

propz.[name],

propz.[value]

FROM sys.objects objz

LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.extended_properties propz

on objz.object_id = propz.major_id

WHERE propz.[class] = 1

AND propz.[minor_id] = 0

UNION ALL

SELECT

SCHEMA_NAME(objz.schema_id) AS [Object_Schema],

objz.name AS [Object_Name],

objz.type_desc AS [ObjectType],

colz.name AS [ColumnName],

propz.[class],

propz.[class_desc],

propz.[major_id],

propz.[minor_id],

propz.[name],

propz.[value]

FROM sys.objects objz

LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.columns colz

ON colz.OBJECT_ID=objz.OBJECT_ID

LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.extended_properties propz

ON colz.OBJECT_ID = propz.major_id

AND colz.column_id = propz.minor_id

WHERE propz.[class] = 1

AND propz.[minor_id] <> 0

GO
