原文:【SQL】用Sql Server自动生产html格式的数据字典
本文软件环境：Sql Server 2008。
1.打开sql server管理器，给选定的表添加描述信息，给指定的字段添加描述信息。
直接在表上或者字段上右键属性-扩展属性，添加一个key-value对，key就是“MS_Description",value就是你自己的描述。详细见下图：
给字段添加描述的过程与上述一致，不在赘述。
2.执行以下这段sql语句，然后复制查询到的结果到文本，保存为html即可。

DEALLOCATE Tbls
如下图，第二个框是”以文本方式显示结果”，不要选错了：
3.最终显示效果
后记：
如果你觉得MS_Description这个key写起来太麻烦，当然也可以自定义，不过那段sql代码也要记得改一下。
