I saw in the documentation for PostgreSQL that I can add 'comments' to
table entries when creating columns:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/tutorial-table.html
CREATE TABLE weather (
city varchar(80),
temp_lo int, -- low temperature
temp_hi int, -- high temperature
prcp real, -- precipitation
date date
);
I did a search and don't understand in what aspect are the 'comments'
relevant / visible? I don't see the comments when I attempt to list /
describe the table with \d weather;
Any suggestions?
