Help ::: Extended Properties
Aug 15, 2002
Hi all,
Plz help me to know whats wrong with following script:
EXEC sp_addextendedproperty
@name = 'col_Programs_ID_Description',
@Value = 'The Unique Identifier for a specific Program',
@level1Type = 'Programs',
@level2Type = 'ID'
I get the following error:
Server: Msg 15600, Level 15, State 1, Procedure sp_addextendedproperty, Line 42
An invalid parameter or option was specified for procedure 'sp_addextendedproperty'.
NOTE: If I dont use the last 2 parameters this procedure runs fine, but it adds the Extended Property to the Database Level while I'm trying to add it to the TABLE-->COLUMN level.
Thanks
Mariah

Hi:
Does anyone know of a good primer on extended properties and why I would want to use them. I have you the on-line books sections but that does a clear "why". I have search for white papers and similar documents.
I understand they are good for documentation, but I was looking for something that explain Microsoft long-term vision. How I might use them in template scripts, VSTS, etc.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Under SSMS I can add simple text and carriage returns to an extended property associated with a column. SSMS preserves the <CRLF> formatting that I used. But when I try to read this same text using, for example,
SELECT name, value FROM ::fn_listextendedproperty
(NULL, 'schema', 'dbo', 'table', 'Customers', 'column', 'CompanyName')
I find that "value" has the <CRLF>'s removed! What am I doing wrong here?
TIA,
Barkingdog

Hello,
Can I read and write the extended properties with Access?
If it€™s possible is better create a project (ADP) or a classic MDB?
When I try with this query in the query panel (in a MDB)
SELECT objtype, objname, name, value
FROM fn_listextendedproperty
(NULL, 'schema', 'Person', 'table', default, NULL, NULL)
I have this error message:
The size of a field is too long
If I try with an ADP, when I ask a new query in design view, I have a message for some roblems between the Access version (2003) and SQL Server version (2005) and I can€™t save the query.
Tanks.

Hi!I have a user on my database that has only "select" access(db_datareader).Problem is, I also want him to also be able to create/update extendedproperties on tables or views, but without modifying the tables'schema.I played around with GRANT but apparently, a member of "db_datareader"cannot create/modify extended properties on an object if he's not theowner of this object. I tried making this user a member of"db_datawriter", but it didn't work.Nothing short of making him member of "db_ddladmin" worked... but thenthis is too much, the user can now alter to delete tables: i DON'T wantthat!Any ideas anyone? Cheers!Ben

when attempting to execute the following query from within 2005 Mgmt Studio:
sp_dropextendedproperty
@name = 'test_me'
, @level0type = 'schema'
, @level0name = 'dbHSPS.dbo'
, @level1type = 'table'
, @level1name = 'Conflict'
/*[ , [ @level2type = 'column'] { 'level2_object_type' }
, [ @level2name = ] { 'level2_object_name' }
] */
I receive:
"Object is invalid. Extended properties are not permitted on 'dbHSPS.dbo.Conflict', or the object does not exist."
However I can SELECT * FROM dbHSPS.dbo.Conflict and it returns results, and I know the test_me extended property exists for table "Conflict" in dbHSPS.dbo ...

I am using SqlServer 2005 and I have created small sample table with culumns that have Extended properties.
FirstName have [First Name] extended propery called M_Caption.
Then I created a view from the table to use in an access database.
My problem is, I can't get the table column extended properties to show up in the view column extended properties.
Here is the table
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[Person] Script Date: 04/07/2008 14:42:01 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Person](

[FirstName] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[LastName] [nvarchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

When one deploys a CLR DLL that contains [SqlFunction]'s, Visual Studio creates three extended properties on the SQL function that is created: these are,
AutoDeployed, SqlAssemblyFile, SqlAssemblyFileLine.
What I haven't found anywhere on Help or MSDN online is what these extended properties mean.
Could someone enlighten me?
1. What is a description of the above properties?
2. What is the benefit of using them (clearly the function works without using them). Does it help debugging?
3. Does the developer need to manually keep for instance the SqlAssemblyFileLine in sync with changes in the .NET code?
Thanks a lot.

through MS SQL Server Management Studio I have a database defined as:
dbname
- Tables
- dbo.xyz
-Columns
Field definition_a
Field definition_b
Field definition_c
...
For each "Field definition" I can define "extended properties"
So the question is, from a stored procedure in C#, how can I read through the "Field definitions"
looking for an extended property of a specific integer value?

I have documentation in the form of extended properties for tables which are subscribers in a replication scheme. The documentation describes the tables in reference to their replication scheme. I don't want to apply them to the source and have them published.I can't apply the extended properties receiving the error, 'don't have permission' yet I am DB creator on all systems. The theory is that I can't modify the subscription. Which makes sense.Can I turn off the replication, apply the extended properties, then turn on replication without causing harm?

I have an ODBC connection string that is working fine with the following properties:
Database="XXXXXXX",Network="YYYYYY"; strangely no server is specified in the string, but it is specified in the ODBC Connection file.
I am trying to do a new server registration in SSMS for this database.However, I don't understand where the network spec is placed.
Under Registered server name I've tried:
YYYYYYXXXXX
When I browse the server for the database instance list, I receive "network path was not found".
I even tried:"XXXXXXX",Network="YYYYYY" for the registered server name.Same error message.
What am I doing wrong ?

i'm calling a create table SQL from my ASP. There are a lot of fields created
by this sql. Wondering if an extended stored procedure would be a better choice? (can't use a stored procedure as i need to pass arrays) Will it enhance performance and also, can i use VB to make that DLL or i need to use VC?
thanks

I created an extended procedure DLL according to the guidelines set forth in the Books Online. I placed this DLL to be called in a trigger. The DLL fires, but some aspects of the dll fail. Is there a C lang. limitation when used with SQL server? I can do file i/o in the dll (open a file, write to it) but other functions such as C API functions FindWindow / SendMessage always fail. I have tested the DLL outside of SQL server and it works fine. Whats up, I can't beleive that Microsoft would write SQLServer where only certain functions of the DLL called by SQL server will work.. Any ideas would be appreciated! KT

Hey everyone,
I'm attempting to copy over extended procedures from another database, and it's only copying stored when I use the "Transfer Database" wizard. Anyone know why it doesn't copy extended, and how I can get it to? Thanks!

I have to write a stored procedure to gather .dat files from multiple network shares to a single location and bulk insert them using format files. I have the SP working that accepts the filename and performs the bulk insert into my SQL tables using the appropriate format file.
Now, I had originally wrote the "copy files" portion in VB using the FSO, but was told it has to all be in a SQL SP. I have been investigating the xp_cmdshell extended procedure, which would work if I weren't pulling the .dat files from a Novell volume. For example connecting to a windows share this works...
exec xp_cmdshell 'dir servershare', no_output
but not when using a servervolume (Novell), even though from the command prompt this command will work to the novell volume.
Does anyone know of any other extended procedure or method in T-SQL that can perform file system functions?
Thanks in advance for any help!

What is the procedure to create a extended stored procedure using C#.
Actually we have created a dll file using c# and it was added to the bin folder of mssql server.
Also dll file is added to the sql server using "xp_extendedproc"
But while executing the extended proc we got this error
"ODBC: Msg 0, Level 16, State 1
Cannot load the DLL xp_TestSql.dll, or one of the DLLs it references. Reason: 126(The specified module could not be found.)"

Could someone who has done it before be kind enough to post a short example of how to make a call from an extended stored procedure to a .NET DLL? Or even direct me to an example, or tell me that this is possible / not possible, it would help.

I'm trying to execute an exetended stored procedure from a trigger. The scenario is this: when an input occurs on a table, my trigger is fired, the extended stopred procedure is to be run, and VB app is to be notified that there is new input to process.
Problem is, I can't seem to get the XP to run. I have written a minimal DLL
with VC++ 6, has nothing but the required __GetXpVersion function and the
trigger function, as:
__declspec(dllexport) SRVRETCODE xp_InputAlarm(SRV_PROC *pSrvProc)
{ return XP_NOERROR; }
__declspec(dllexport) ULONG __GetXpVersion()
{ return ODS_VERSION; }
Pretty simple. I have defined the XP in the master database, set the properties point to the DLL. Believe everything is set up properly. However,
when an input occurs, a run-time error is generated on the XP. Attempting to execute it in Query Analyzer gives this error:
"Cannot find the function xp_InputAlarm in the library D:CustomMedInstaCert SourceInputAlarmInputAlaInputAlarm.dll. Reason: 127(The specified procedure could not be found.)."
Which I think means it can't find the proper entry point (xp_InputAlarm) in the DLL. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

During a Wise Installation upgrade of our software, we are renaming a
directory that contains our ExtendedSP DLL. We issue a
DBCC TSWSQLXP(Free) call before doing the rename, yet SQL Server,
still "holds on" to that DLL. We install a new version, and the ListDLLs
utility (from sysinternals) lists the new DLL in the correct directory.
However, when trying to remove the renamed directory, it won't let us
remove the old DLL because it says it is in use. We can delete the NEW
DLL in the NEW directory with no problem.
I have run the DBCC call numerous times and SQL Server STILL won't
release the DLL for deletion. The only way to delete the OLD DLL is to
stop the SQL Server, delete the DLL, and then restart SQL Server. We
do NOT want to do this because there may be other processes running in
SQL Server.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
