Has anyone written, or know of a query, that will find and drop all extended properties (Database, table and column level) that have a given name? I know I can drop one extended property via the sp_dropextendedproperty stored proc.
Right click on Table/View in Object Explorer, select Properties. Select Extended Properties from the pane on the left. Select the extended properties and click Delete at the bottom right of the window.
Microsoft provides one extended property, MS_Description, which can be used from both Enterprise Manager and SSMS to provide a description of the object to which it is bound.
The SQL DROP TABLE Statement. The DROP TABLE statement is used to drop an existing table in a database.
For me, the script in Mikael's link didn't create drops for all extended properties, e.g. those for views. What did work was a script that Jamie Thomson has created, which you can download from this article.
I've pasted his script here (in full with acknowledgements, in-case the article is removed):
/*
This script will generate calls to sp_dropextendedproperty for every
extended property that exists in your database.
Actually, a caveat: I don't promise that it will catch each and every
extended property that exists, but I'm confident it will catch most of them!
It is based on this:
http://blog.hongens.nl/2010/02/25/drop-all-extended-properties-in-a-mssql-database/
by Angelo Hongens.
Also had lots of help from this:
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Metadata/72609/
by Adam Aspin
Adam actually provides a script at that link to do something very similar
but when I ran it I got an error:
Msg 468, Level 16, State 9, Line 78
Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "Latin1_General_100_CS_AS" and "Latin1_General_CI_AS" in the equal to operation.
So I put together this version instead.
Use at your own risk.

Generates a dynamic exec sp_dropextendedproperty statement for each property found.
The previous answers failed to work correctly for me - they didn't remove extended properties for database triggers, xml schema collections or indexes. I found this script to delete extended properties (comments translated from Japanese using Google translate), which worked perfectly for me.
Warning: this actually removes all extended properties, rather than outputting a query to do so, as previous answers do. To change the behavior to output a query instead, change each EXEC (@sql)
to PRINT (@sql)
.
