  • --ContentExport table--

    EXEC sp_addextendedproperty

    @name = N'Caption', @value = 'This column contains email for contacts.',

    @level0type = N'Schema', @level0name = dbo,

    @level1type = N'Table', @level1name = dbo.ContentExport,

    @level2type = N'Column', @level2name = DocID;

    GO

    Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 6

    Incorrect syntax near '.'.

    why?

  • Just put single quotes round dbo.ContentExport, i.e.

    EXEC sp_addextendedproperty

    @name = N'Caption', @value = 'This column contains email for contacts.',

    @level0type = N'Schema', @level0name = dbo,

    @level1type = N'Table', @level1name = 'dbo.ContentExport',

    @level2type = N'Column', @level2name = DocID;

    The parameter @level1name is of type sysname, which is a string. SQL server won't automatically cast dbo.ContentExport to a string because of the ".".
