Michael -
I was just wondering this myself! I even dug into the source code, to
see if I could find how the comments get in there. Couldn't find any
existing SQL or psql command syntax, so I'm doing this:
template1=> \d pg_description
Table = pg_description
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+
| Field | Type |
Length|
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+
| objoid | oid
| 4 |
| description | text
| var |
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+
Index: pg_description_objoid_index
template1=> select oid from pg_class where relname = 'fred';
oid
-----
66464
(1 row)
template1=> insert into pg_description values (66464,'This is the table
fred') ;
INSERT 66473 1
template1=> \dd fred
description
----------------------
This is the table fred
(1 row)
template1=>
