Description     :sp_extendedpropertymethod wraps following stored procedures and function:
                 sp_addextendedproperty, sp_dropextendedproperty,sp_updateextendproperty
                 ::fn_listextendedproperty. These procedures can only add/update/drop property
                 to a single database object.
                 In order to use extend properties in real development, we should be able to
                 manage extended properties in a more efficient and flexible manner. 
                 This wrapper procedure let the user using a wildcard character like '%' 
                 while specifying object name parameters: level0name, level1name, level2name. 
                 The procedure will first build an affected db object list 
                 by querying system catalog tables using the pattern specified by the passed in parameters
                 and then call corresponding system procedures for all objects in the list.

Parameter Input    : NOTE: the first eight parameters have the same semantics as those in the above listed
                  system stored procedures except that @level0name, @level1name and @level2name
                  can also take a pattern as their input.
                   1) [ @name = ] { 'property_name' }
                        A. When the @method parameter is 'list'
                            Is the name of the property. property_name is sysname. 
                            Valid inputs are default, NULL, or a property name.
                        B. When the @method parameter is add/drop/update
                            Is the name of the property to be added/dropped/updated. 
                            property_name is sysname and cannot be NULL. 
                            Names may also include blank or non-alphanumeric character strings
                            and binary values.
                   2) [ @value = ] { 'value' }
                        Is the value to be associated with the property. value is sql_variant,
                        with a default of NULL. The size of value may not be more than
                        7,500 bytes; otherwise, SQL Server raises an error.
                   3) [ @level0type = ] { 'level0_object_type' }
                        Is the user or user-defined type. level0_object_type is varchar(128),
                        with a default of NULL. Valid inputs are USER, TYPE, and NULL.
                   4) [ @level0name = ] { 'level0_object_name' }
                        Is the name or pattern of the level 0 object type specified. 
                        level0_object_name is sysname with a default of NULL.
                   5) [ @level1type = ] { 'level1_object_type' }
                        Is the type of level 1 object. level1_object_type is varchar(128),
                        with a default of NULL.
                        Valid inputs are TABLE, VIEW, PROCEDURE, FUNCTION, DEFAULT, RULE, and NULL.
                   6) [ @level1name = ] { 'level1_object_name' }
                       Is the name or pattern of the level 1 object type specified. 
                       level1_object_name is sysname, with a default of NULL.
                   7) [ @level2type = ] { 'level2_object_type' }
                       Is the type of level 2 object. level2_object_type is varchar(128),
                       with a default of NULL. 
                       Valid inputs are COLUMN, PARAMETER, INDEX, CONSTRAINT, TRIGGER, and NULL.
                   8) [ @level2name = ] { 'level2_object_name' }
                       Is the name or pattern of the level 2 object type specified. 
                       level2_object_name is sysname, with a default of NULL.
                   9) [@method=] {'method'}
                        Is the action you want the stored procedure to perform,
                        with a default of 'list'.
                        Valid inputs are 'add','update','drop','list'
                        If you specify 'list', the @name parameter can be NULL.
                        If the value for property_name is NULL or default, 
                        sp_extendedpropertymethod returns 
                        all the properties for the selected objects
Parameter Output:
Return Value    : 0 -- success
                  1 -- failure
                    if @method = 'list', a table in following format is returned
                    This is also the format of the tables returned by fn_listextendedproperty, 
                    as sp_extendproperty is using fn_listextendedproperty to retrieve properties info
                    ----------------------------------
                    | Column name    | Data type     | 
                    ----------------------------------
                    | objtype        | sysname       |
                    | objname        | sysname       |
                    | name           | sysname       |
                    | value          | sql_variant   |
                    ----------------------------------
                If the table returned is empty, either the object does not have extended properties 
                or the user does not have permissions to list the extended properties on the object.
Remarks:        wildcard characters only can be used in an object name parameter: 
                level0name, level1name, level2name to specify a pattern
                wildcard characters CANNOT be used in a property name and type parameters: 
                level0type, level1type, level2type
                Please refer to description of the LIKE operator in BOL for more information 
                about search pattern you can specify here
