A new version of dbdesc is now available. This version improves a lot the successful extended property editor that was introduced in version 2.0. A special ‘thank you’ to all of you who have sent me feedback and suggestions, and specially to Tom Pester who has dedicated a lot of effort in helping me polish this version up.

As I mentioned earlier, the bulk of improvements are in the extended properties editor. Now you can add descriptions to most SQL Server objects like stored procedure/UDF parameters, user-defined types, assemblies, etc. The usability has been improved too; now your changes are committed to the database in real-time and it’s a lot easier to navigate through the editor.

Close to the title of each main group of objects there’s a percentage indicating how many objects are annotated; very useful if your goal is to annotate every object. You can also hide the objects that already have descriptions and leave only those without comments.

You can see the full change log in the download page.
