Syntax

sp_updateextendedproperty
    [ @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 updated. @name is sysname, with no default.

[ @value = ] value

The value 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 user or user-defined type. @level0type is varchar(128), with a default of NULL. Valid inputs are:

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

Important

USER and TYPE as level 0 types will be removed in a future version of SQL Server. Avoid using these features in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use these features. Use SCHEMA as the level 0 type instead of USER. 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:

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

Given a valid @name and @value, if all object types and names are NULL, the property updated belongs to the current database.

Permissions

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

Users can update extended properties to objects they own, or on which they have ALTER or CONTROL permissions.

Examples

A. Update an extended property on a column

The following example updates the value of property Caption on column ID in table T1.

USE AdventureWorks2022;
GO

CREATE TABLE T1 (id INT, name CHAR(20));
GO

EXEC sp_addextendedproperty @name = N'Caption',
    @value = N'Employee ID',
    @level0type = 'SCHEMA',
    @level0name = N'dbo',
    @level1type = 'TABLE',
    @level1name = N'T1',
    @level2type = 'COLUMN',
    @level2name = N'id';
GO

--Update the extended property.
EXEC sp_updateextendedproperty @name = N'Caption',
    @value = 'Employee ID must be unique.',
    @level0type = 'SCHEMA',
    @level0name = N'dbo',
    @level1type = 'TABLE',
    @level1name = N'T1',
    @level2type = 'COLUMN',
    @level2name = N'id';
GO

B. Update an extended property on a database

The following example first creates an extended property on the AdventureWorks2022 sample database and then updates the value of that property.

USE AdventureWorks2022;
GO

EXEC sp_addextendedproperty @name = N'NewCaption',
    @value = 'AdventureWorks Sample OLTP Database';
GO

USE AdventureWorks2022;
GO

EXEC sp_updateextendedproperty @name = N'NewCaption',
    @value = 'AdventureWorks Sample Database';
GO
