Create Table - entering a Column Descripton

Shaun, as I am to understand that the exec line must be for every field row correct? Can you provide and example based on the information I attached?

For all three inputs... I am understanding that I must enter the following script for 'each' fieldname:

EXEC   sp_addextendedproperty 'MS_Description', 'EmpSS6', 'user', dbo, 'table', 'tblSafety_Log', 'column', SS_Num

I added the procedure script after the Create Table GO and executed the script and it did affect the one row. This was following the example was derived from "dkrollCTN" html link.

Ok, so I did create one line per Filename and the results are excellent. I've attaced my code for others to see how it is used and perhaps it will be helpful to them in the future.

if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[tblSafety_Log]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[tblSafety_Log]
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblSafety_Log] (
	[SS_Num] [int] NOT NULL Default 0 ,
	[Emp_Num] [smallint] NOT NULL Default 0,
	[Pos_Num] [smallint] NOT NULL Default 0,
	[Insp_Date] [smalldatetime] NULL,
	[Injury] [bit] Not null Default 0,
	[I_Prev] [bit] Not null Default 0,
	[I_NonPrev] [bit] Not null Default 0,
	[I_Descrip] [varchar](50) Null,
	[Accident] [bit] Not null Default 0,
	[A_Prev] [bit] Not null Default 0,
	[A_NonPrev] [bit] Not null Default 0,
	[Ins_Report] [bit] Not null Default 0,
	[Safety_Viol] [bit] Not null Default 0,
	[ASV_Descrip] [varchar](50) Null,
	[Lost_Tm] [bit] Not null Default 0
	Primary Key (SS_Num)
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

-- add description extended property to the my_table_name table's 'id' column
EXEC   sp_addextendedproperty 'MS_Description', 'EmpSS Last 6', 'user', dbo, 'table', 'tblSafety_Log', 'column', SS_Num

Although Shaun's solution was correct, it was confusing. HainKurt also your link was a good solution, but it too was minimal confusing...but does give other examples that I now know is available.

dkrollCTN, you solution was the same as the other two...but it gave the solution AND a clearer steps to follow. And that is why you will receive the most points.

All in all... all the solutions were on target. What also hhelps the person who submits a question is to give clear understandable solutions. That is the best comment I can give.

Nevertheless...you folks here on EE are without question the BEST source and experts... Thank You...
