Using Extended Properties To Keep Everyone Informed

  • Extended properties are indeed the glue that holds together the BUSINESS component of our "metadata repository".....as it is just one component of a bigger master data strategy. The biggest challenge is usually in keeping this information up to date.

  • Also, the BIDSHELPER tool on CODEPLEX extracts out these extended properties from the relational database and lands them into an SSAS solution--a very convenient and time saving tool! However, this is a one-way data transfer as you cannot bring SSAS metadata into the RDBMS at this time.
