Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance

Adds a new extended property to a database object.

Syntax

sp_addextendedproperty
    [ @name = ] N'name'
    [ , [ @value = ] value ]
    [ , [ @level0type = ] 'level0type' ]
    [ , [ @level0name = ] N'level0name' ]
    [ , [ @level1type = ] 'level1type' ]
    [ , [ @level1name = ] N'level1name' ]
    [ , [ @level2type = ] 'level2type' ]
    [ , [ @level2name = ] N'level2name' ]
[ ; ]

Arguments

[ @name = ] N'name'

The name of the property to be added. @name is sysname, with no default, and can't be NULL. Names can include blank or non-alphanumeric character strings, and binary values.

[ @value = ] value

The value to be associated with the property. @value is sql_variant, with a default of NULL. The size of @value can't be more than 7,500 bytes.

[ @level0type = ] 'level0type'

The type of level 0 object. @level0type is varchar(128), with a default of NULL.

Valid inputs are:

ASSEMBLY
CONTRACT
EVENT NOTIFICATION
FILEGROUP
MESSAGE TYPE
PARTITION FUNCTION
PARTITION SCHEME
REMOTE SERVICE BINDING
ROUTE
SCHEMA
SERVICE
USER
TRIGGER
TYPE
PLAN GUIDE
NULL

Important

The ability to specify USER as a level-0 type in an extended property of a level-1 type object will be removed in a future version of SQL Server. Use SCHEMA as the level-0 type instead. For example, when defining an extended property on a table, specify the schema of the table instead of a user name. The ability to specify TYPE as level-0 type will be removed in a future version of SQL Server. For TYPE, use SCHEMA as the level-0 type and TYPE as the level-1 type.

[ @level0name = ] N'level0name'

The name of the level 0 object type specified. @level0name is sysname, with a default of NULL.

[ @level1type = ] 'level1type'

The type of level 1 object. @level1type is varchar(128), with a default of NULL.

Valid inputs are:

AGGREGATE
DEFAULT
FUNCTION
LOGICAL FILE NAME
PROCEDURE
QUEUE
RULE
SEQUENCE
SYNONYM
TABLE
TABLE_TYPE
TYPE
VIEW
XML SCHEMA COLLECTION
NULL

[ @level1name = ] N'level1name'

The name of the level 1 object type specified. @level1name is sysname, with a default of NULL.

[ @level2type = ] 'level2type'

The type of level 2 object. @level2type is varchar(128), with a default of NULL.

Valid inputs are:

COLUMN
CONSTRAINT
EVENT NOTIFICATION
INDEX
PARAMETER
TRIGGER
NULL

[ @level2name = ] N'level2name'

The name of the level 2 object type specified. @level2name is sysname, with a default of NULL.

Return code values

0 (success) or 1 (failure).

Remarks

When you specify extended properties, the objects in a SQL Server database are classified into three levels: 0, 1, and 2. Level 0 is the highest level and is defined as objects that are contained at the database scope. Level 1 objects are contained in a schema or user scope, and level 2 objects are contained by level 1 objects. Extended properties can be defined for objects at any of these levels.

References to an object in one level must be qualified with the names of the higher level objects that own or contain them. For example, when you add an extended property to a table column (level 2), you must also specify the table name (level 1) that contains the column and the schema (level 0) that contains the table.

If all object types and names are null, the property belongs to the current database itself.

Extended properties aren't allowed on system objects, objects outside the scope of a user-defined database, or objects not listed in Arguments as valid inputs.

Extended properties aren't allowed on memory-optimized tables.

Replicate extended properties

Extended properties are replicated only in the initial synchronization between the Publisher and the Subscriber. If you add or modify an extended property after the initial synchronization, the change isn't replicated. For more information about how to replicate database objects, see Publish Data and Database Objects.

Schema versus user

We don't recommend specifying USER as a level-0 type when you apply an extended property to a database object, because this can cause name resolution ambiguity. For example, assume user Mary owns two schemas (Mary and MySchema), and these schemas both contain a table named MyTable. If Mary adds an extended property to table MyTable and specifies @level0type = 'USER', @level0name = N'Mary', it isn't clear to which table the extended property is applied. To maintain backward compatibility, SQL Server applies the property to the table that is contained in the schema named Mary.

Permissions

Members of the db_owner and db_ddladmin fixed database roles can add extended properties to any object with the following exception: db_ddladmin can't add properties to the database itself, or to users or roles.

Users can add extended properties to objects they own or have ALTER or CONTROL permissions on.

Examples

A. Add an extended property to a database

The following example adds the property name Caption with a value of AdventureWorks2022 Sample OLTP Database to the AdventureWorks2022 sample database.

USE AdventureWorks2022;
GO

--Add a caption to the AdventureWorks2022 Database object itself.
EXEC sp_addextendedproperty @name = N'Caption',
    @value = 'AdventureWorks2022 Sample OLTP Database';

B. Add an extended property to a column in a table

The following example adds a caption property to column PostalCode in table Address.

USE AdventureWorks2022;
GO

EXEC sp_addextendedproperty @name = N'Caption',
    @value = 'Postal code is a required column.',
    @level0type = 'SCHEMA', @level0name = N'Person',
    @level1type = 'TABLE', @level1name = N'Address',
    @level2type = 'COLUMN', @level2name = N'PostalCode';
GO

C. Add an input mask property to a column

The following example adds an input mask property 99999 or 99999-9999 or #### ### to the column PostalCode in the table Address.

USE AdventureWorks2022;
GO

EXEC sp_addextendedproperty @name = N'Input Mask ',
    @value = '99999 or 99999-9999 or #### ###',
    @level0type = 'SCHEMA', @level0name = N'Person',
    @level1type = 'TABLE', @level1name = N'Address',
    @level2type = 'COLUMN', @level2name = N'PostalCode';
GO

D. Add an extended property to a filegroup

The following example adds an extended property to the PRIMARY filegroup.

USE AdventureWorks2022;
GO

EXEC sys.sp_addextendedproperty @name = N'MS_DescriptionExample',
    @value = N'Primary filegroup for the AdventureWorks2022 sample database.',
    @level0type = 'FILEGROUP', @level0name = N'PRIMARY';
GO

E. Add an extended property to a schema

The following example adds an extended property to the HumanResources schema.

USE AdventureWorks2022;
GO

EXEC sys.sp_addextendedproperty @name = N'MS_DescriptionExample',
    @value = N'Contains objects related to employees and departments.',
    @level0type = 'SCHEMA', @level0name = N'HumanResources';

F. Add an extended property to a table

The following example adds an extended property to the Address table in the Person schema.

USE AdventureWorks2022;
GO

EXEC sys.sp_addextendedproperty @name = N'MS_DescriptionExample',
    @value = N'Street address information for customers, employees, and vendors.',
    @level0type = 'SCHEMA', @level0name = N'Person',
    @level1type = 'TABLE', @level1name = N'Address';
GO

G. Add an extended property to a role

The following example creates an application role and adds an extended property to the role.

USE AdventureWorks2022;
GO

CREATE APPLICATION ROLE Buyers
    WITH Password = '987G^bv876sPY)Y5m23';
GO

EXEC sys.sp_addextendedproperty @name = N'MS_Description',
    @value = N'Application Role for the Purchasing Department.',
    @level0type = 'USER', @level0name = N'Buyers';

H. Add an extended property to a type

The following example adds an extended property to a type.

USE AdventureWorks2022;
GO

EXEC sys.sp_addextendedproperty @name = N'MS_Description',
    @value = N'Data type (alias) to use for any column that represents an order number. For example a sales order number or purchase order number.',
    @level0type = 'SCHEMA', @level0name = N'dbo',
    @level1type = 'TYPE', @level1name = N'OrderNumber';

I. Add an extended property to a user

The following example creates a user and adds an extended property to the user.

USE AdventureWorks2022;
GO

CREATE USER CustomApp WITHOUT LOGIN;
GO

EXEC sys.sp_addextendedproperty @name = N'MS_Description',
    @value = N'User for an application.',
    @level0type = 'USER', @level0name = N'CustomApp';
