Re: Column description in ResultSetMetaData

Sorry, I forgot to mention postgres 8.1.0 and 7.3.4
are the versions I'm using, so it will be the postgres drivers
for those. I'm more interested if it's possible in postgres 8.1.0

Stef mentioned :
=> Hi
=>
=> Is there any way to get a column's
=> description (As defined using COMMENT ON [TABLE_NAME].COLUMN_NAME] IS )
=> and/or table name from the ResultSetMetaData or from the ResultSet,
=> without actually having to parse the SQL string to figure out what tables
=> and columns were used in the query. I would obviously only need this
=> for real columns. i.e. not columns that had functions or concatenations
=> performed on them.
=>
=> Can anyone think of how to do this?
=>
=> Kind Regards
=> Stefan
