A place for my thoughts and experiences on SQL Server, Business Intelligence and .NET
After a discussion with a friend of mine, I’ve opened a suggestion on Connect to request to have Extended Properties visible in the main Object Explorer Details window.
This will be especially useful for creating self-documenting database, since that window can easily provide additional information about, for example, column in a table or in a view and so on.
Just image to have all the available Extended Columns in this list to be selected:
If columns’ Extended Properties will contain a Description, violà, here you’ll see it for each column. Useful IMHO. If you agree with me please vote here:
