Hello All,

How would I create a data dictionary using the MS_Description column
in the extended properties and the information_schema columns? I
would like to include table name, column name, data type, null/not
null, ms_description, and etc...

Has anyone done this or created a data dictionary in SQL Server any
other way before? Please advice. Thanks.

you already have all this information available via catalog views like INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES,COLUMNS,.. then why create a new dictionary?

You can store extended properties using sp_addextendedproperty system stored procedure
