SQL Server通过脚本管理列描述

Question

有没有办法通过脚本更改/更新和删除/删除列描述？

我使用sp_addextendedproperty添加描述，但它不允许更新。当我尝试使用相同的 sp 更新现有描述值时，它会显示类似“描述属性已存在”的内容

更改或删除/创建类似的解决方案对我来说都可以。

create procedure sp_set_column_description (
    @schema varchar(256),
    @table varchar(256),
    @column varchar(256),
    @description varchar(256))
    as
begin
    if exists (
        select p.* 
        from
            sys.extended_properties p, 
            sys.columns c, 
            sys.tables t, 
            sys.schemas s
        where
            t.schema_id = s.schema_id and
            c.object_id = t.object_id and
            p.major_id = t.object_id and
            p.minor_id = c.column_id and
            p.name = N'MS_Description' and 
            s.name = @schema and
            t.name = @table and
            c.name = @column
    )

结合Steph Locke的建议，您可以使用以下方法检查扩展过程是否存在:

if exists(
    SELECT  * 
    FROM    sys.extended_properties p
            join sys.columns c on p.major_id = c.object_id and p.minor_id = c.column_id 
    where   p.major_id = OBJECT_ID('yourtablename','table')
            and p.name = 'Description'  
)
