    Posted: 14 November 2003 at 3:56am

1. Is it possible to add descriptions/comments against each column like you can in MS Access ???

2. If this is possible, can the descriptions be 'queried' and displayed on an asp page ???

Thx

(I'm using SQL Server 2000 Ent Mgr to connect to a SQL Server v7 which doesnt seem to support column descriptions)

Figured it out.....

1) The column description is an extended property and is not supported in SQL 7.

2) With SQL 2000, you can query system tables to extract any extended property from a table.
