PostgreSQL 9.2 When creating a table or altering a column of a table, is there a way to add notes on a column? If not: I have a new enhancement request. When creating a table or altering a column, it would be nice if a user could add “comments” or “notes” to a column. This note would only appear when doing “\d table_name”.
Why? I was adding a new column to a table called “type”. Normally I only add types as characters even though integers are much better for indexing. The problem with integers is I never remember what value means what. Does a 1 mean directory
or file. So I end up creating “type” as a character so I can do a quick SELECT DISTINCT to figure out the options. I would use integers if I could do \d table_name to see in the notes section what values meant. I would think other people run into this issue
all the time. Thanks, Lance Campbell Software Architect Web Services at Public Affairs 217-333-0382
