adding a column description

Question

Does anyone know how to add a description to a SQL Server column by running a script? I know you can add a description when you create the column using SQL Server Management

Answer 1

EXEC sys.sp_addextendedproperty @name = N'MS_Description', 
@value = N'extended description', 
@level0type = N'SCHEMA',
@level0name = N'dbo',
@level1type = N'TABLE',
@level1name = N'Table_1',
@level2type = N'COLUMN',
@level2name = N'asdf'

Create script on table [dbo].[Table_1]
