Its more a case of you can't read the header by opening the table Smiley

With ElevateDB all the table metadata is stored in the catalog and to examine any of it you read the system tables.

So you'd need to do something like

select Name, Description from information.tables

Nope. As Roy indicated, just run this query against the current database:

SELECT Name, Description
FROM Information.Tables
