I think I already know the answer but asking here is probably quicker turnaround than researching it.

I've gotten into a "view bloat" scenario with many many custom views that I cannot remember what they actually do.  Is there any psql function/command to add a description field to a table or view definition in the system?  Would be nice to have a one line general text note capability to quickly see what a complicated view does when looking at the defintion via
# \dv+

Looks like the command has the field present, but not sure how to populate it.

am using PostgreSQL 13.xx in Debian.
In addition to the COMMENT advised by PostgreSQL friends above, you might put your schema into some version control system, such as git, so you can have all the info : why something was added/changed, by whom, what for, etc.
