Defining Sparse Columns in SSMS
To specify a column as a sparse column using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), set the Is Sparse property to Yes in the column properties for the selected column (see Figure 20.3). Similarly, if a column needs to be declared as column set, set the Is Columnset property to Yes in the column properties.
