George Keradinides writes "Hi, I'm writing a reporing tool from VB6-SP5 for Ms Sql 2000-SP1.
Sql2000 has a new feature, called Extended Properties. You can define properties in columns (also tables, views) and retrieve them. I will use this properties to store information about column names (Customer code instead of Cust_ID), font used for display, format, if the column will have a total in report, etc.
I can retrieve this properties through ::fn_listextendedproperty.
What I need is to create a view, a function or a stored procedure to combine information for this properties, with information about column type, length, scale and possible link with another primary column through a foreign key (to make a user invisible join with the other table if needed).

In other words I need to combine informationschema.columns, syscolumns, sysforeignkeys and ::fn_listextendedproperty.

Thanks"
