18:30 - 19:15 Talk: SQL Server self-documentation with Extended Properties by Paul Mugleston
This session shows how to turn SQL Server’s extended properties into a practical, analyst‑friendly metadata layer. You’ll see how to document tables, columns, relationships, data sources, and refresh cycles directly inside the database, and how to surface that information through a simple SSRS report that analysts can actually use. It's a clear, repeatable approach for building documentation that stays accurate, lives with the data, and reduces the constant “what does this table do” questions.
