How to install:
1. Open the downloaded codes in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
2. Execute (compile) the codes.
3. Mark procedures as system objects:
EXEC sys.sp_MS_marksystemobject sp_desc;
EXEC sys.sp_MS_marksystemobject sp_desc_more;
4. Grant to public:
GRANT EXEC ON sp_desc TO PUBLIC;
GRANT EXEC ON sp_desc_more TO PUBLIC;
5. Execution example:
EXECUTE sp_desc '[AdventureWorks].[Person].[Address]';
EXECUTE sp_desc_more '[AdventureWorks].[Person].[Address]';
If your query window was opened for AdwentureWork database, you can skip the
database name. Likewise you may skip schema name if the object to be described
is in the default schema. As the procedures are marked as system objects the most
common cases you can use a very short formula (you can leave the exec command
and even the quotation marks if the object name is simple):

Note: don't forget to use schema names during the installation, if you want to
use the procedures in other schema than dbo.
